The desymmetrization of a meso molecule was used for the development of a chiral N‐ heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand. This chiral NHC was then successfully applied to a copper‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic arylation with Grignard reagents. The level of stereocontrol was improved to 89 % ee via derivatization studies. The synthesized copper catalyst was effective at the level of 0.05 mol % loading for gram‐scale reactions.
