The Cover Feature shows the chemoselective, direct nucleophilic substitution of alcohols. An alcohol and an ester are competing in the Tokyo Olympics steeplechase passing through the Olympic symbol, representing a mesoporous silica‐immobilized oxovanadium catalyst, developed in our group. The alcohol is now on the verge of winning the race, i.e. the direct nucleophilic substitution with a sulfur or carbon nucleophile, accompanied by generation of a molecule of water as the only by‐product.
