EfficientenantioselectiveNHinsertionreactions of secondary and primary anilines were catalyzed by palladium(0) in combination with chiral guanidine derivatives. A broad range of substituted anilines were tolerated, and the corresponding products were obtained in high yield (up to 99 %) with good enantioselectivity (up to 94 % ee) under mild reaction conditions. The NHinsertion mechanism was
The asymmetric CHinsertion of α‐diazoesters into 1‐alkynes was achieved using chiral cationic guanidinium salts and copper(I) complexes. Optically active 2,4‐disubstituted allenoates were generated under mild reaction conditions from various α‐diazoesters and 1‐alkynes in high yield (up to 99 %) and enantioselectivity (up to 97:3 e.r.). Control experiments excluded the possibility of an asymmetric
