The Cover Feature shows how cellulose‐derived levoglucosenone can be efficiently converted into LGO‐Cyrene™ and then 2H‐HBO‐HBO through MeOH/K 2 CO 3 ‐mediated homocoupling of levoglucosenone and subsequent H 2 O 2 ‐mediated Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, respectively. The latter was then used as a diol monomer for the preparation of novel sustainable polyesters. More information can be found in the Full Paper by F. Diot‐Néant, L. Mouterde, et al. on page 2613 in Issue 10, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202000680).
