A chiral quaternary carbon center at the ring junction can be prepared by Rh I ‐catalyzed cyclization of enynes, as described by Y. Oonishi, Y. Sato et al. in their Communication on page 8736 ff. It was revealed that the cyclization proceeds through a novel reaction pathway. The cleavage of the Rh−C(sp 2 ) bond of the chiral rhodacycle by an O−H bond in the tether occurs, then β‐hydride elimination from the resultant oxarhodacycle, followed by reductive elimination to give cyclic compounds with a chiral quaternary carbon center in high yields and with high ee values.
