Access to chiral aldehydes : The asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols was studied with a bicyclic phosphine‐oxazoline iridium catalyst. This method displays a broad substrate scope and leads to the desired chiral aldehydes with excellent enantioselectivities (see scheme; R 1 , R 2 =Ar or alkyl).
