A new trick for an old dog : A Dieckmann‐type cyclization was used to synthesize the title compounds with up to 96 % ee (see scheme; Bn=benzyl). The presence of a β coordinating functionality in the substrate induces a competition between cyclization and elimination pathways that is influenced by the nature of the chiral ligand. A mechanistic rationale is proposed to account for these observations.
