An enantioselective [3+2] cyclization is reported for the construction of a chiral oxazoline skeleton in moderate yield and up to 97% ee. The reactivity and stereochemical discrimination originate from the noncovalent interaction and orientation of a bifunctional catalyst. The novel combination of an alpha-keto ester and an alpha-isocyanoacetate establishes an oxazoline which could be a potential chiral ligand for metalmediated catalysis, and also could be easily converted into an optically active beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid.
