Abstract A broad range of tertiary propargylic alcohols were kinetically resolved by catalyst‐controlled enantioselective silylation. This non‐enzymatic kinetic resolution is catalyzed by a Cu−H species and makes use of the commercially available precatalyst MesCu/( R , R )‐Ph‐BPE and a simple hydrosilane as the resolving reagent. Both alkyl,aryl‐ as well as dialkyl‐substituted propargylic alcohols participate, and especially high selectivity factors are achieved when the alkyne terminus carries a TIPS group, which also enables facile post‐functionalization in this position ( s up to 207).
