Alcohol is key : Regio‐ and enantioselective hydroamination of 1,3‐dienes has been achieved with the dinuclear catalyst ( R )‐DTBM‐SEGPHOS. The rate and selectivity of the reaction are enhanced by alcohol additives like menthol, which coordinates the cationic gold(I) to generate a Brønsted acid that can participate in catalysis. Mbs= p ‐methoxybenzenesulfonyl.
