Activation of allenes towards nucleophilic attack by gold complexes often proceeds with axis‐to‐center chirality transfer. In their Communication on page 7534 ff., V. Gandon, L. Fensterbank, M. Malacria et al. show that stereochemical information is maintained in not only η 2 allene complexes, but also in bent η 1 allene complexes.
