Organocatalytic ester activation is developed for a highly selective cascade reaction between saturated esters and amino enones. The reaction involves activation of the β‐carbon atom of the ester as a key step. This method allows a single‐step access to multicyclic oxoquinoline‐type heterocycles with high enantiomeric ratios.
