Asymmetric benzylation of prochiral azlactone nucleophiles enables the catalytic introduction of a benzyl group towards the synthesis of α,α‐disubstituted amino acids. Herein, we report an enantioselective palladium‐catalyzed process using chiral bis(diphenylphosphinobenzoyl)diamine (dppba) ligands. Naphthalene‐ and heterocycle‐based methyl carbonates react with a number of azlactones derived from
