A new highly enantioselective domino Michael/hemiketalization reaction of α‐hydroxyacetophenone with β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters for the synthesis of 2,2,4,5‐tetrasubstituted chiral tetrahydrofurans is reported. With 2 mol % intramolecular dinuclear zinc‐AzePhenol complex prepared in situ from the reaction of multidentate semi‐azacrown ether ligand with ZnEt 2 , the corresponding anti ‐multisubstituted tetrahydrofuran products were obtained in up to 90 % yields, and 98 % enantiomeric excess ( ee ) at 0 °C for 45 min. Moreover, the products were easily converted to 2,3,5‐trisubstituted 2,3‐dihydrofurans without any loss in optical activity.
