A volleyball is hit from the academic to the industrial side of the net and symbolizes the potential utility of a new dual catalyst system—a combination of xantphos/[Rh(acac)(CO) 2 ] and Shvo's catalyst—in both fields. In their Communication on page 4488 ff. K. Nozaki et al. describe the highly efficient production of n ‐undecanol using syngas and this catalytic system. The one‐pot process involves hydroformylation catalyzed by rhodium and hydrogenation catalyzed by ruthenium.
