The Inside Back Cover image shows two simple methods for the production of chiral alcohols and amines starting from racemic alcohols. A powerful strategy is the borrowing hydrogen methodology, which combines transfer hydrogenation (avoidance of direct usage of hydrogen) with an intermediate reaction, such as condensation or α‐alkylation, without necessary separation processes. Depending on the conditions, either subsequent asymmetric organocatalysis or asymmetric reduction of imines takes place. More details can be found in the Highlight by Dirk Hollmann on page 2411 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201402320 ).
