Furfural and its derivatives underwent alkenylation with alkynes via α‐C−H activation in the presence of a palladium/carboxylic acid catalyst to give the corresponding single and double alkenylated products. The reactive aldehyde group remained intact during this reaction. This catalytic system allowed selective alkenylation of furan substrates having electron‐withdrawing substituents.
