We report herein the first examples of catalytic enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral 3‐arylpyrroles. Reaction of α‐isocyanoacetates with β‐aryl‐α,β‐alkynic ketones in the presence of silver oxide and a phosphine ligand derived from Cinchona alkaloid occurred chemoselectively to afford enantioenriched 3‐arylpyrroles in high yields with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The pyrrole ring was constructed de novo in this process.
