The Front Cover shows a schematic presentation of different reaction pathways from a key bidentate B‐N complex. The depicted products are a result of an inverse electron demand Diels‐Alder (IEDDA) reaction followed by either an elimination at high temperatures, a group‐transfer reaction mediated by excess amine, or a photo‐induced ring opening reaction. Within this mechanistic study, deeper insights into domino IEDDA reactions were gained. The background portrays the lake ‘Plansee’ in Austria (copyright by Julia Ruhl), whose neighbored mountain pass reminds of a typical depiction of a potential energy surface (copyright of the illustration by Marcel A. Strauss). More information can be found in the Full Paper by H. A. Wegner et al.
