✦ Synopsis

The cover picture shows the preferred steric course of the reaction of sulfur ylides with enantiopure α-phosphorylvinyl sulfoxides. The background is crystalline sulfur, rich deposits of which are in south-eastern Poland. Sulfur and its alchemical emblem symbolize the importance of the stereogenic sulfur atom in this asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction. Details are discussed in the article by M. Mikołajczyk et al. on p. 653 ff.
