The Cover shows a cationic surfactant dispenser, on which the structures of the species involved in its catalytic synthetic route were scribbled.In their Communication, T. A. Faßbach et al. demonstrate that Rh/1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane can achieve extraordinarily high turnover frequencies (up to 739 mol mol −1 h −1 ) and regioselectivities ( S =97 %) as catalytic system in the hydroaminomethylation of terpenes with conjugated 1,3‐diene functionalities for the synthesis of renewable building blocks for surfactants. More information can be found in the Communication by T. A. Faßbach et al. on page 1359 in Issue 8, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201700097).
