Mild mannered! A highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective Mannich‐type reaction of glycine Schiff base 1 has been developed by using the N,N′ ‐dioxide L ‐Cu II complex as a catalyst. Various optically active anti‐ α,β‐diamino acid esters were obtained in good yields with up to 96:4 d.r. and 97 % ee. This straightforward method features a low catalyst loading and mild reaction conditions.
