Many aldehydes are volatile compounds with distinct and characteristic olfactory properties. The aldehydic functional group is reactive and, as such, an invaluable chemical multi‐tool to make all sorts of products. Owing to the reactivity, the selective synthesis of aldehydic is a challenging task....
