An Iridium‐Catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkynylation of enamides occur regioselectively at the β position of an enamide. In their Communication on page 9007 ff., B.‐J. Li and co‐workers report a method for the straightforward synthesis of chiral homopropargyl amides with a stereocenter β to the amide. As illustrated in the cover image, enamide and alkyne undergo rapid union to form a chiral product.
