No More Musk Suicides! A poem by Shangyin Li (813–858) from the late Tang Dynasty reported the tragic case of a musk deer that committed suicide rather than let his hunters have his musk pods. In the Communication on page 7010 ff. , P. Kraft and co‐workers report a versatile macrocyclization, which utilizes an unprecedented oxy‐oxonia‐Cope reaction. This novel macrocyclization can also be employed for a new synthesis of muscone, with which the cover picture is scented. The book featuring the ancient drawing is held by a Tibetan Alchi Lama Monk.
