The control of stereoselectivity in radical reactions is of great importance, but remains a formidable challenge. The cover picture shows that the enantiomerically pure compounds can be prepared in radical transformations using chiral transition metal complexes as catalysts. Recent advances are summarized in the review by Kong et al. on page 247–256.
