Resolved dynamically : A new, expedient protocol has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of β 3 ‐ and β 2, 3 ‐amino acid derivatives from enamine precursors (see scheme). The method relies on a fast equilibrium between the enamine and imine forms. Reduction of the imine with Cl 3 SiH, catalyzed by the L ‐valine‐derived formamide L* (5 mol %), afforded the corresponding amino esters in good yields, good enantioselectivities (≤90 %  ee ) and high diastereoselectivities (≤99 %  de ).
