The α‐adduct is the sole product of the coupling of vinyl‐ and allylzirconium compounds with ZnCl 2 (see below), provided no Mg II salts are present. The zirconium compounds are formed in situ from alkynes and allenes, and the overall reaction opens a new preparative route to the vitamin E side chain through asymmetric induction in the 1,5‐position. R 1 = CH 2 OCPh 3 , R 2 = CHMeCH 2 OCH 2 OMe, “Zr” = [Cp 2 Zr(H)Cl].
