The inside cover picture shows a general strategy to perform biphasic reactions without the need for stirring. Stirring is widely adopted in laboratory‐ and industry‐scale synthesis to accelerate reactions. However, stirring not only requires a large energy input but can also cause, for example, particle fragmentation. Yang et al. demonstrate a general and new strategy that can be used to perform organic/aqueous biphasic reactions without stirring while still achieving reaction efficiencies comparable to conventional stirring‐driven biphasic reactions. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Yang et al. on page 391 ff .
