Faster, higher, stronger! The N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed diastereo‐ and enantioselectivehydroacylation of cyclopropenes affords structurally valuable acylcyclopropanes. A new family of electron‐rich, 2,6‐dimethoxyphenyl‐substituted NHCs induces excellent reactivity and enantioselectivity. Preliminary kinetic studies unambiguously demonstrated the superiority of this family of catalysts
