The cover picture shows the ligand‐free production of a secondary amine by using an ordered hexagonal mesoporous aluminosilicate as an effective catalyst. In their Communication, P. Srinivasu et al. report the facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate catalysts for the efficient synthesis of N‐benzyl secondary amines. The catalysts perform C–N bond formation between benzyl alcohol and aniline for various N‐benzyl secondary amines with excellent activity. Furthermore, the catalysts are highly active and potentially reusable. Their operational simplicity and ease of isolation are an attractive alternative to previous methodologies. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 747 ff. of Issue 5, 2015.
