Enantiopure homoallylic alcohols such as 1 (conveniently prepared from alk‐2‐enyl metal reagents with (−)‐ or (+)‐menthone) serve as alk‐2‐enyl donors to aldehydes. The allyl‐transfer reaction, which proceeds via a chairlike six‐membered‐ring transition state, gives the corresponding α adduct of the homoallylic alcohols, 2 , in good yields with >99 % ee. p TSA= p ‐toluenesulfonic acid.
