An efficient method for the enantioselective preparation of structurally diverse cyclopropanes has been developed. Sequential homoaldol coupling and activation steps result in a three‐carbon homologation of an aldehyde to give a nonracemic, stereochemically rich cyclopropylcarboxaldehyde (see scheme).
