Herein we report the cycloisomerization of electron‐poor 1,5‐dienes via the β‐azolium ylide to give enantioenriched cyclopentenes. The reaction is mediated by a chiral N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst, exploits readily available substrates, has good generality (17 examples), and displays excellent enantioselectivity (mostly >94:6). Studies demonstrating the viability of a related dynamic kinetic resolution are reported, as are those with alternate tethers and derivatizations.
