The Cover shows the photograph of Slender West Lake (by Zehua Zhou), a very famous Chinese classical garden close to our campus. Beautiful scenery and cultural heritage remind us of the responsibility of green chemistry development and this organoselenium‐catalyzed clean transformation is an important research direction for this. In their Communication, L. Yu et al. demonstrate organoselenium catalysis applied to methylenecyclopropane oxidative ring expansion to produce useful, but difficult to access, substituted cyclobutanone derivatives. More information can be found in the Communication by L. Yu et al. on page 1033 in Issue 6, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201501309).
