The Cover Feature shows an image for the enantiodivergent synthesis of axially chiral biphenyls from σ‐symmetric 1,1'‐biphenyl‐2,6‐diol derivatives by single lipase‐catalyzed acylative and hydrolytic desymmetrization. The background picture, so‐called “Upside‐down Fuji” or “Sakasa Fuji” in Japanese, is one of the most spectacular views of Mt. Fuji. Reflecting Fuji upon a nearby lake generates its mirror image or enantiomer, creating an overall beautiful symmetry. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Akai et al.
