An exo ‐lent catalyst : An N,O‐ligand/Cu(OAc) 2 derived chiral complex is an excellent catalyst for inducing asymmetry in the catalytic enantioselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with various alkylidene malonates. A series of highly functionalized exo ‐pyrrolidines were obtained in excellent yields (80–99 %) and enantioselectivities (91–99 % ee ; see scheme; M.S.: molecular sieve).
