Divergent bicycle paths : A chemodivergent desymmetrization occurs after an initial enantioselective carbometalation step. The reaction brings a solution to the challenging problem of the enantioselective ring‐opening of diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes to obtain arylated cyclopentenamines (see scheme, right). An alternative reaction pathway was discovered in which CH insertion/1,4‐metal migration occurs to give reductive arylation products (left).
