N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis in the presence of transition metals is a challenge because of the high affinity of NHCs for metals. In their Communication on page 161, J. Mao, P. J. Walsh, and co‐workers present a system for the conjugate addition of aryl iodides to enals through cooperative catalysis between an NHC and a Pd catalyst. The catalytic cycles intersect at Pd, where the two newly formed Pd−C bonds undergo reductive elimination to give a C−C bond.
