Catalytic asymmetric Friedel–Craftsalkylation is a powerful protocol for constructing a chiral C(sp2)C(sp3) bond. Most previous examples rely on LUMO activation of the electrophiles using chiral catalysts with subsequent attack by electron‐rich arenes. Presented herein is an alternative strategy in which the HOMO of the aromatic π system of 2‐furfuryl ketones is raised through the formation of a formal
