The nickel‐catalyzed electroreductive cleavage of the allyl group of allyl 2‐methyl‐1‐tetralone‐2‐carboxylate and allyl transfer to the carbonyl group has been examined. The control of the reaction conditions allowed us to orientate the selectivity. The use of chiral ligands led to modest asymmetric induction in the formation of 2‐methyl‐1‐tetralone.
