The Front Cover shows the Karlštejn Castle, a large Gothic castle founded in 1348 by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor‐elect and King of Bohemia (and founder of University in Prague). The castle served as a place for safekeeping the Imperial as well as the Bohemian crown jewels, holy relics, and other royal treasures. From a synthetic chemist's point of view, chiral ligands enabling high asymmetric inductions can be also considered as jewels or treasures. Such a ligand is also Bolm's ligand analog (shown above the castle) that was used in combination with Sc(OTf)3 for highly enantioselective ring‐opening of epoxides.
