Rhodium(I)‐catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular cyclization of enynes having a hydroxy group in the tether was investigated, and various cyclic compounds possessing a chiral quaternary carbon center were obtained in high yields with high ee s. In this cyclization, a Rh−C(sp 2 ) bond in the rhodacyclopentene intermediate, which was formed by enantioselective oxidative cycloaddition of enynes to a chiral rhodium(I) complex, was intramolecularly cleaved by σ‐bond metathesis of a tethered O−H bond in the substrate. Furthermore, it was found that the cyclic compounds were obtained with high ee s even when the starting materials having a racemic secondary alcohol moiety were used in this reaction.
