The cover picture shows furfural and dihydroxyacetone, which are two compounds that can be obtained from plant sources, for example, from olive stones and sugar beets, respectively. These compounds can be used as building blocks for a convergent, cascade annulation based synthetic approach to the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin isolated from puffer fish. Details are discussed in the article by F. Cagide‐Fagín and R. Alonso on p. 6741 ff.
