An efficient enantioselective approach to form trans  lactams and cis  lactones in up to 98 % yield with greater than 99 %  ee , and greater than 20:1 d.r. using simple aliphatic aldehydes has been developed. The process involves a new pathway to generate enolate intermediates from aliphatic aldehydes by oxidation and deprotonation. NHC=N‐heterocyclic carbene, Ts=4‐toluenesulfonyl.
