The catalytic asymmetric dearomative arylation of 2‐naphthols enabled by the unconventional reactivity of o ‐quinone diimides, i. e. the 1,4‐conjugate addition on quinone sp 2 hybridized carbon, has been established. Under the catalysis of chiral phosphoric acid, various cyclohexaenones bearing an all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter have been prepared with excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
