Simple Stetter: A novel N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) was designed by combining an electron‐rich 2,6‐dimethoxy substituent and an underestimated yet promising chiral motif. With this NHC in hand, a highlyenantioselectiveintermolecularStetterreaction of simple acrylates was developed, yielding versatile α‐chiral γ‐ketoesters. This represents the first catalytic asymmetric route towards these valuable

Direct reductive carboxylation of easily prepared aryl vinylketones under the atmosphere of carbon dioxide led to the selective formation of γ-keto carboxylic acids in 38–86% yields. The reaction is characterized by the carbon–carbon bond formation of carbon dioxide at the β-position of enone, with the use of magnesium turnings that can be easily handled as the reducing agent and the eco-friendly
