Gearing between the α carbon atom and the nitrogen atom of an amino acid relays chiral information to the palladium(II) center, which cleaves CH bonds asymmetrically. In their Communication on page 4882 ff. , J.‐Q. Yu et al. report on the palladium(II)‐catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of sp 2 and sp 3 CH bonds with boronic acids.
