Described herein is a general and mild catalytic asymmetric 1,6‐conjugate addition of para ‐quinone methides ( p ‐QMs), a class of challenging reactions with previous limited success. Benefiting from chiral Brønsted acid catalysis, which allows in situ formation of p ‐QMs, our reaction expands the scope to general p ‐QMs with various substitution patterns. It also enables efficient intermolecular formation of all‐carbon quaternary stereocenters with high enantioselectivity.
