A unique organocatalytic asymmetric oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling of a α-Csp(3)-H bond of tertiary amines with α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactams to generate Morita-Baylis-Hillman-type products has been realized for the first time. This method provides an efficient way to access a series of α-heterocyclic optically active tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffolds.
