Atom‐economic synthesis: The syn‐ and highly enantioselective Henry reactions of aliphatic aldehydes catalyzed by a readily available β‐amino alcohol copper catalyst were developed and successfully utilized in the synthesis of safingol. The ligand could be easily recovered without any racemization (see scheme).
