The first catalytic asymmetric desymmetrization of azetidines is disclosed. Despite the low propensity of azetidine ring opening and challenging stereocontrol, smooth intermolecular reactions were realized with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity. These were enabled by the suitable combination of catalyst, nucleophile, protective group, and reaction conditions. The highly enantioenriched densely
