The Cover Feature shows a copper‐catalyzed carbonyl group controlled coupling reaction of isatin oximes and arylboronic acids under air conditions. The key role of the carbonyl group is demonstrated by a flying kite; the carbonyl group connects to the kite, which represents the Cu(OAc) 2 catalyst. The kite flying shows the directing and controlling role of the carbonyl group. The picture was taken from a famous sight on the Lijiang river in Guilin city. The reflection of the mountains in water represents the configuration of oximes towards a defined configuration of nitrones under catalyst conditions in air.
