Enantiospecific intramolecular Suzuki–Miyaura‐type coupling with α‐(2‐halobenzoylamino)benzylboronic esters to give 3‐substituted isoindolinones is achieved by using copper catalysts with 2,2′‐bipyridine‐based achiral ligands. Enantioenriched α‐aminobenzylboron reactants bearing a hydrogen atom at the boron‐bound stereogenic carbons undergo stereoinvertive coupling in the presence of a 6‐phenyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligand with high enantiospecificity. α‐Aminobenzylboronates bearing fully substituted boron‐bound stereogenic centers also gave the 3,3‐disubstituted isoindolinones with stereospecific stereochemical inversion in the presence of simple 2,2′‐bipyridine as a ligand.
