The inside cover picture, designed by Takuya Suga, illustrates the merger of titanium‐mediated homolytic C–OH bond cleavage and nickel catalysis that realizes a cross‐coupling reaction between benzyl alcohols and alkenyl bromides. The direct application of alcohols to cross‐coupling may set us free from tedious preparations of halides and homolysis‐active esters. Manganese powder was used to reduce titanium(IV) and nickel(II) to their active low‐valent forms that can cleave C–OH and C–Br bonds, respectively.
