The cover picture shows design elements that have been built into dual hydrogen bond donor (HBD) scaffolds for the purpose of enhancing their catalytic performance. As the power of HBD catalysis continues to grow, chemists can consider taking a do‐it‐yourself approach to strategically perfecting HBD catalyst scaffolds to achieve high yield and stereocontrol for their desired operation. To help guide efforts in optimal catalyst identification, the Microreview by A. E. Mattson et al. on p. 2633 ff. details recent dual HBD catalyst design elements and their effect on HBD catalyst performance.
