A practical approach to access chiral tertiary alcohol skeletons and biologically important chiral coumaran‐3‐one derivatives is depicted in the cover artwork. The Taiji diagram represents the catalytic cycle, in which the right half represents the formation of tertiary alcohol structures while the left half indicates that the core motifs of some important natural products consist of coumaran‐3‐one derivatives. More information can be found in the Communication by F.‐L. Zhang, Z. Wang, et al. on page 581.
