A series of N-substituted cyclohexyldiaminophenolic ligands for the asymmetric Grignard synthesis of tertiary alcohols is reported. The 2,5-dimethylpyrrole-decorated ligand led to improved enantioselectivities and broadened the scope of the methodology. As an exemplar, we report an unprecedented highly selective one-step synthesis of gossonorol in 93% ee, also constituting the shortest formal syntheses
