The Cover Feature shows a Newton's cradle in which the organocatalyst and the photoredox‐catalyst combine their strengths to lead to a‐b disubstituted tryptamines. In their Communication, Géraldine Masson and co‐workers reported a sequential approach to the stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized tryptamines. The enantioselective organocatalytic amination was successfully coupled to a subsequent photocatalyzed Friedel‐Crafts reaction providing an efficient access to this important class of alkaloids. More information can be found in the Communication by Guillaume Levitre et al. on page 5723 in Issue 23, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201901266).
