Putting waste to work : Tandem one‐pot Wittig/reductive aldol reactions have been performed in which the byproduct of the Wittig reaction, Ph 3 PO, catalyzes the reductive aldol reaction. This methodology is versatile and allows for three different building blocks to be combined in a simple, one‐pot procedure.
