Atom economy and esters: compatible now! The first catalytic insertion of a CC bond into an acyl CO bond was achieved using rhodium catalysts (see scheme). The products are β‐alkoxy ketones with a fully substituted carbon center. Quinoline chelating groups were employed to stabilize the Rh‐alkoxide intermediate.
