Carbophilic gold carbenes generated from the decomposition of α‐diazoesters show high reactivity towards enamides, leading to an unprecedented aza‐ene‐type reaction. The presence of 0.1 mol % of a chiral Brønsted acid co‐catalyst is sufficient to give synthetically relevant γ‐keto esters in excellent yields and selectivities (up to 99 % yield, 97 % ee ).
