Selective activation of identical functional groups is one of the most challenging tasks in the realm of organic chemistry. Dehydrative π‐extensions (DPEX) is a reaction that distinguishes “active” and “dormant” aldehyde groups based on their position and ability to participate in intramolecular reactions. This unusual feature allows the method to be used for programmed domino folding, in which aldehyde groups are activated sequentially in accordance with the program inbuilt into the precursor's structure. More information can be found in the Communication by K. Amsharov et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202103098).
