Condensation of R‐(+)‐1‐(2‐chlorophenyl)‐2,2‐dimethyl‐propan‐1,3‐diol (2) with a derivative (1) of 1‐formylcyclohexene substituted in the 3‐position with an acetoxy group proceeded with absolute stereospecificity at the acetal center. Catalytic alkylation of the π‐allyl complex obtained upon reaction with Pd with the anion of dimethylamalonate proceeded at the 3‐position of the cyclohexyl ring with complete stereocontrol.
