Rhodium carbenes are key intermediates in a range of cycloadditions and insertion reactions. Herein, we report the first generation of donor RhII carbenes by decarbenation of 7‐substituted 1,3,5‐cycloheptatrienes. This discovery unlocks an improved retro‐Buchner‐cyclopropanation sequence, a Si−H insertion reaction for a broad‐scope synthesis of allylsilanes, and a new method for the vinylogation of aldehydes. The last strategy led to the development of an iterative synthesis of E‐polyenes, and to the total synthesis of navenones B and C.
