The Cover Feature shows a kinetically controlled process where Green represents “go to Z (cis)” and Red represents “don't go to E (trans)” for the isomerisation of a series of 3‐azido E‐vinyl sulfones. This process has been studied, and on treatment with the base DBU it has been found that, for most structural variations, these vinyl sulfones selectively generate Z‐vinyl azides.
