Simple and efficient : The first highly enantioselective aza‐Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction between acrylonitrile and imines has been developed. Excellent yields and enantioselectivities were observed for the reaction of various imines using chiral phebim/Pd II complexes ( 1 ; see scheme). This process offers a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of functionalized α‐methylene‐β‐aminonitriles and their derivatives.
