The cover picture, provided by Shū Kobayashi, shows an example of chiral Lewis acid catalysis based on Lewis acid–surfactant combined catalysts (LASCs). Chiral hydrophobic environments made up of scandium(III) dodecyl sulfate and a chiral bipyridine ligand catalyze the asymmetric aldol-type reactions of silyl enol ethers in water as the sole solvent.
