The front cover picture illustrates the transformation of α‐trifluoroborylacrylates to α‐trifluoromethylacrylates using inexpensive reagents such as NaSO 2 CF 3 and TBHP at room temperature. The copper‐catalyzed reaction generates trifluoromethyl radical that is installed in a stereoretentive fashion. Details can be found in the communication by Swetha Jos and Webster L. Santos.
