Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Ekaterina M. Budynina and Igor V. Trushkov at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The image depicts the diversity of synthetic outcomes that can be achieved by using the ring-opening of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with the azide ion as a triggering reaction.
