Zusammenfassung:The neem tree in the foreground of the cover picture is the natural source of azadirachtin, a complex molecule containing sixteen contiguous stereogenic centers, seven of which are tetrasubstituted carbon atoms. In their Communications starting on page 7629 ff., S. V. Ley et al. describe the conclusion of a long but successful journey culminating with the first synthesis of this compound following the strategy outlined. Photographs: William M.
