A novel catalytic enantioselective methodology based on synergistic catalysis is reported. The strategy involves: 1) the metal‐Lewis‐acid activation of alkylazaarenes, and 2) the secondary‐amine activation of enals. Consequently, highly functionalized chiral alkylazaarenes were obtained in good yields and with reasonable stereoselectivity.
