The Cover Feature shows some classical organic transformations, involving the heterocycle Azlactone. Among these reactions, cycloadditions, conjugate additions, ring opening, photochemical and Steghich rearrangement are highlighted. Moreover, recent advances in the reactions of Azlactone, also known as “mashed amino acid”, allow the elegant and simple access to complex molecules after one or few chemical steps with high regio‐, chemo‐, and stereoselectivities.
