Stereoselective arene‐forming aldol condensation reactions were investigated which lead to the formation of configurationally stable binaphthalenes, axially chiral amides and oligo‐1,2‐naphthylenes. This versatile strategy provides various rotationally restricted compounds with high enantioselectivity and is thus expected to be useful in many areas.
