Chlorination reactions can be performed using a chiral bifunctional sulfide catalyst bearing sulfur and a NHTf group. In their Communication on page 1315 ff., X. Zhao and co‐workers use a clawed dragon to illustrate the sulfur center binding to the chloriranium ion, and the NHTf group on the catalyst binding to the other side of the substrate. The fireball blasting from the mouth of the dragon represents the chlorinated product. The background image is the symbol of the authors’ university.
