The front cover picture , provided by Tomás Martín and co‐workers illustrates a new type of organocatalyst based on sugar amino acids (SAA). These hybrid dipeptide‐like organocatalysts combine two highly‐modulable building blocks: amino acids and carbohydrates. The carbohydrate motif is embedded in the peptidic backbone and induces a well‐defined conformation that is responsible for the reactivity and stereoselectivity. Details can be found in the communication on pages 576–583. (J. Borges‐González, A. Feher‐Voelger, F. P. Crisóstomo, E. Q. Morales, T. Martín, Adv. Synth.
