The Front Cover shows that the benzoxaborole catalyst recognizes and activates a cis‐1,2‐diol derivative through the formation of the tetra‐coordinated boronate intermediate. The site‐selective modification of the cis‐1,2‐diol moiety catalyzed by the benzoxaborole, is represented by the illustration of the dart game. The catalyst design, reaction mechanism, and scope and limitations are described in this article. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Kusano, O. Hayashida et al.
