Reported herein is the single‐step construction of an anti‐configured deoxypropionate motif by syndiospecific propylene oligomerization catalyzed by a Cs‐symmetric zirconocene complex. After oligomerization, oxidation of the oligomers by oxygen afforded oligopropylene alcohols in a single step. This strategy was applied to the single‐step preparation of rel‐(2R,4S,6R,8S)‐2,4,6,8‐tetramethylundecan‐1‐ol
