Oxidative coupling of enolates, enol silanes, and enamines provides a direct method for the construction of useful 1,4‐dicarbonyl synthons. Despite its first being reported in 1935, with subsequent important advances beginning in the 1970s, the development of this powerful reaction into a reliable methodology was somewhat limited. In recent years, though, there have been a number of reports from several research groups demonstrating advances in several neglected areas of oxidative coupling. This microreview summarizes these new advances in methodology and provides an overview of recent natural product syntheses that showcase the power of these transformations.
