An unusual ligand‐to‐palladium‐ratio‐dependent reversal of enantioselectivity was systematically observed in the asymmetric Pd‐catalysed [3+3]‐annulation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman acetate with 4‐hydroxycoumarin or 1,3‐cyclohexanedione. The absolute configurations of the annulation products can be readily inverted by simply modifying the L/Pd ratio from 1:3 to 2:1.
