An oxidative Wittig‐type reaction was developed. The classical Wittig reaction is one of the most powerful synthetic tools for construction of carbon–carbon double bonds from carbonyls, but here comes a surprising version, in which carbonyl groups are installed by similar process. The mechanism shows that the reaction is mediated by an oxo‐four‐membered intermediate, which looks like a humorous face. More information can be found in the communication by X. Jia and co‐workers on page 617 in Issue 5, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/ajoc.201600055).
