Chiral iridium complexes modified by SEGPHOS catalyze the 2-propanol mediated reductive coupling of branched allylic acetates 1a–1o with formaldehyde to form primary homoallylic alcohols 2a–2o with excellent control of regio- and enantioselectivity. These processes, which rely on enantiotopic π-facial discrimination of σ-allyliridium intermediates, represent the first examples of enantioselective formaldehyde C-C coupling beyond aldol addition.
