The first enantioselective reaction of α-isocyanoacetonitriles was developed. The reaction of various α-isocyanoacetonitriles with ketimines using cinchonaalkaloid amide–Cu(II) catalysts afforded imidazolines with consecutive tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon centers in good yields and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The stereoselectivity of the reaction is explained on the basis of the
