The cover picture shows the dynamic kinetic resolution of β‐amino esters, where racemization catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles is combined with enantioselective resolution by Candida antarctica lipase A (CALA). β‐Amino acids and esters are essential components of many biologically active compounds. Natural products containing β‐amino acids and esters have been found to hold many interesting properties, including insecticidal, antifungal and antitumor activity. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by J.‐E. Bäckvall et al. on p. 1827 ff. Background photo by Sixten Engström.
