thiolate‐catalyzed Tishchenko reaction inspired by biochemical processes features exceptionally good control over the catalyst's steric/electronic properties. The isolation of reaction intermediates provided valuable insights into the reaction mechanism, which in turn has allowed the development of the first cross‐Tishchenko coupling reactions between aldehydes and activated ketones (see example).

Recently, the first efficient intermolecular crossed Tishchenko reactions were reported. The utility of these processes is curtailed by long reaction times of up to 4 days (at reflux). Herein we report that these reactions are highly susceptible to acceleration by microwave irradiation—allowing fast, efficient, high-yielding coupling to proceed in 10–180 min.
