An efficient palladium catalyst is presented for the formation of benzylic quaternary stereocenters by conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to a variety of β,β‐disubstituted carbocyclic, heterocyclic, and acyclic enones. The catalyst is readily prepared from PdCl 2 , PhBOX, and AgSbF 6 , and provides products in up to 99 % enantiomeric excess, with good yields. Based on this strategy, (−)‐α‐cuparenone has been prepared in only two steps.
