The asymmetric allylation of glycine iminoesters has been accomplished through a synergistic Pd/Cu catalyst system, affording a range of α-substituted α-amino acids in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (88 → 99% ee). The introduction of a Cu-P,N-metallocenyl complex-activated glycine iminoester to the chiral palladium-catalyzedallylic allylation process is crucial owing to its high
