Stereogenic nitrogen-containing heterocycles are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceutical compounds, but methods for their enantioselective construction have remained elusive. We report a general method for the asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to β-alkyl/aryl α,β-unsaturated lactams that affords chiral β,β-disubstituted lactams. The transformation is operationally simple and air- and moisture-tolerant and uses a commercially available (<i>S</i>)-<i>t</i>-Bu-PyOx ligand ...[more]
