We report the chiral‐auxiliary‐controlled diastereoconvergent allylation reactions of allyltrimethylsilane with diastereomeric mixtures of diarylmethanols in the presence of FeCl 3 as a Lewis acid catalyst. This reaction was successfully applied to a variety of substrates; it proceeded irrespective of the substituent on the aromatic ring of the substrate. The present method was used as the key step in synthesizing ( R )‐tolterodine.
