The Cover Feature shows the new synthesis of diethyl carbonate from CO 2 and alkoxysilanes using a zirconium catalyst. The disiloxane byproduct can be reverted to alkoxysilanes using ethanol and molecular sieves as dehydrating agent, which offers a new sustainable approach toward the development of waste‐free synthesis of diethyl carbonate. More information can be found in the Communication by W. S. Putro et al.
