Two is better than one: We demonstrate the viability of an organocatalytic reaction sequence along a short peptide backbone that carries two independent catalytic functionalities, which allow the rapid, one‐pot acylative desymmetrization and oxidation of meso‐alkane‐1,2‐diols to the corresponding acetylated acetoins with good yields and enantioselectivities (see scheme).
