The first highly enantioselective, diastereoselective, and regioselective [2,3]‐rearrangement of iodonium ylides has been developed as a general solution to catalytic onium ylide rearrangements. In the presence of a chiral copper catalyst, substituted allylic iodides couple with α‐diazoesters to generate metal‐coordinated iodonium ylides, which undergo [2,3]‐rearrangements with high selectivities (up to >95:5 r.r., up to >95:5 d.r., and up to 97 % ee ). The enantioenriched iodoester products can be converted stereospecifically into a variety of onium ylide rearrangement products, as well as compounds that are not accessible by classical onium ylide rearrangements.
