The Front Cover illustrates how the ultrasonic irradiation of an alcoholic solution of carbohydrates at high frequency can induce their conversion to alkylpolyglycosides at only 40°C, and with high yields, selectivity, and space‐time yield. The elucidation of the structure of all the produced glycosides strongly suggests that 1,6‐anhydrosugars formed in situ are key intermediate species.
