A practical α‐alkylation of ketones and aldehydes has been achieved by the direct addition of alcohols to enol acetates. The moderate Lewis acidity of InI 3 , GaBr 3 , and FeBr 3 is a key factor in the catalytic cycle, and many different alcohols and enol acetates have been successfully used in this procedure.
