A question of the ligand : The chemoselectivity of the rhodium‐catalyzed addition of AlMe 3 to cyclohex‐2‐enone is guided by the type of ligand used. Whereas use of an achiral {Rh(cyclooctadiene)} complex leads to a 1,4‐addition, use of a {Rh(binap)} species gives highly enantioselective 1,2‐additions. This unprecedented reaction can be used for stereoselective 1,2‐methylations and arylations of cyclic enones (see scheme).
