Access to chiral isoindolinones : The Mg‐catalyzed enantioselective benzylic CH bond functionalization of isoindolinones is described. A Bu 2 Mg/Schiff base catalyst (1:1) promoted the enantioselective addition of N ‐Boc‐isoindolinones to aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, and alkyl imines, giving 3‐substituted isoindolinones in 84–99 % ee and 50:50–91:9 d.r. (see scheme).
