An achiral unit is shown to be better than a chiral unit in promoting an asymmetric reaction. Non‐ C 2 ‐symmetric linked‐binols 1 with one chiral 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol unit and one flexible achiral unit are employed as ligands in direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich‐type reactions (see scheme; TON=turnover number). With as little as 0.01 mol % of ligand 1 a and 0.04 mol % of Et 2 Zn, the reaction proceeded smoothly to give the product in 98 % ee.
