Chiral dihydrobenzofuran units are frequently present in molecules with significant biological and pharmaceutical activities. Herein, we present the first enantioselective formal [4+1] annulation of Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman carbonates with o ‐quinone methides ( o ‐QMs) catalyzed by a newly designed chiral phosphine catalyst. Under the mild and eco‐friendly conditions, a wide range of polysubstituted dihydrobenzofurans were obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
