Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of E. Peter Kündig at the University of Geneva. The cover illustrates the regiodivergent reaction taken by two enantiomers when subjected to a chiral Pd(N ‐ heterocyclic carbene) catalyst. The combination of a divergent reaction with an enantioselective CH functionalization makes for fascinating chemistry. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/chem.201403985 .
