A convenient, scalable, and highly enantioselective total synthesis of ( R )‐5,6‐octadecadienoic acid was developed by using the recently established ATA (allenylation of terminal alkynes) reaction of TBS‐protected (TBS = tert ‐butyldimethylsilyl) propargyl alcohol with n ‐dodecanal in the presence of ( R )‐α,α‐diphenylprolinol as the chiral source. The axial chirality of the allene unit withstood the many common organic transformations that were needed to achieve the total synthesis with a high ee (enantiomeric excess) value.
