The pendant methylsulfanyl group of aldehyde 1 provides chelation stabilization (see 3 ), thus allowing direct hydroacylation of functionalized electron‐poor alkenes 2 in good yields under mild conditions. Electron‐deficient alkynes can also be used as substrates. R=ester, amide, imide, sulfone; dppe=1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane.
