Despite much progress has been made in the asymmetric α-arylation reactions of cyclic ketones, lactones and lactams, the enantioselective α-arylation of acyclic carbonyl compounds lagged much behind due to the in situ generated Z/E-enolate intermediates leading to opposite enantiomers. Especially, the asymmetric α-arylation of acyclic aldehydes is a long-standing challenge, because of the highest activity among carbonyl compounds leading to various competitive side reactions. Herein we reported an efficient Pd-catalyzed asymm
