Not so Mannich now : A heterobimetallic La/Li/pybox complex was key in direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich‐type reactions, using α‐keto anilides as synthetic homoenolate equivalents to afford γ‐amino amide products in up to >99 % yield, 95 % ee , and >97:3 syn‐ selectivity. Stereoselective reduction of the α‐keto moiety afforded the β‐alkyl‐γ‐amino‐α‐hydroxy amide with three contiguous stereocenters (PG=protecting group).
