The Inside Back Cover picture pictures a MoO x ‐modified Ru catalyst (Ru–MoO x catalyst) and illustrates how the hydrogenation reaction of L ‐lactic acid occurs over the Ru–MoO x catalyst in aqueous phase. A small amount of MoO x on Ru catalyst (Mo/Ru=1:16) significantly enhanced the activity in this reaction (about 5–6 fold) and provided ( S )‐1,2‐propanediol in high yield with retention of the substrate configuration. The structure of the Ru–MoO x catalyst in the picture, with MoO x dispersed on the Ru metal, was determined by spectroscopic studies and kinetic measurements. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Takeda et al. on page 1170 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201403011 ).
