The Front Cover shows the ease of production of a range of aldehydes in continuous flow through an efficient enzymatic oxidation with minimal waste and in an environmentally friendly manner. In their Full Paper, M. L. Contente et al. demonstrate the use of an ω‐transaminase from Halomonas elongata as a heterogeneous biocatalyst in a mild and efficient single‐step process for the aqueous preparation of aldehydes in the presence of pyruvate, generating L‐alanine as a benign by‐product. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. L. Contente et al. on page 3843 in Issue 20, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701147).
