Significance

The formerly developed Mn-Cr(II)-mediated allylation of aldehydes for the first time has been performed in an enantioselective variant using a set of modular amino acid-derived ligands. Enantioselectivities of up to 95% were achieved after screening of different catalyst diastereomers.
