Straighten out the mixture : A dynamic mixture of acyclic isomers of tributyltin enolates undergoes a {Cr(salen)}‐catalyzed alkylation reaction to generate methyl ketones that contain α‐carbonyl quaternary stereocenters in high yield and enantioselectivity (salen= N , N ′‐bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine dianion). A mechanism is proposed which involves halide activation by a cationic metal complex.
