The cover picture shows that efficient synthesis of complex carbohydrate structures has been achieved via transition‐metal‐catalyzed stereoselective glycosylations. By harnessing the power of transition‐metal catalysis, a variety of structurally complex and biologically significant O ‐, N ‐, C ‐, and S ‐glycosides have been prepared from the corresponding glycosyl donors through green, mild, and easily operable chemical reactions. Details are presented in the Microreview by X. Li and J. Zhu on p. 4724 ff .
