An environmentally benign calcium catalyst effects the first transition‐metal‐free carboarylation of alkynes with commercial and readily available alcohols as alkylating agents. In their Communication on page 6367 ff. , L. Fu and M. Niggemann report a novel protocol for the one‐step synthesis of highly congested, all‐carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes, with a wide substrate scope, good functional‐group tolerance and simple experimental operation under mild reaction conditions.
