Back Cover: A Convergent Total Synthesis of the Death Cap Toxin α‐Amanitin (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 14/2020)

The death cap toxin α‐amanitin has received increasing attention as a toxin component of antibody–drug conjugates in cancer research. A new route to this bicyclic octapeptide that is based on a convergent approach in solution phase is reported by R. D. Süssmuth and co‐workers in their Communication on page 5500. The straightforward synthesis gives access to the non‐proteinogenic amino acids l ‐6‐hydroxytryptophan and (3 R ,4 R )‐ l ‐4,5‐dihydroxyisoleucine on multigram scale. Cover illustration: Paul Rietzl.
