Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 30, 20 July 2026.The first enantioselective alkynylations of aqueous fluoral are described. These processes are catalyzed by an iodide‐bound ruthenium‐(Ph‐BPE)‐catalyst; an octahedral metal complex that can exist as 12 diastereomeric‐at‐metal isomers. Calculations reveal that 2 of 12 stereoisomeric complexes account for 99.9% of the Boltzmann population and that ...
