New axially chiral ligands and their allyl esters have been designed and synthesized. The combination of these ligands with [CpRu(CH3CN)3]PF6 has realized highly efficient intramolecular dehydrative cylization of ω‐hydroxy allylalcohols, to give α‐alkenyl‐substituted cyclic ethers with up to greater than 99:1 enantiomeric ratio without activation of the allylic moieties (see scheme; Cp=cyclopentadienyl
