A catalyst-controlled switch of regioselectivity in asymmetric allylic alkylation of oxazolones with MBHCs was described. The SN2'-SN2' reaction catalysed by a quinine-derived base produced γ-selective secondary allylic oxazolone derivatives, whereas the addition-elimination reaction catalysed by an amino acid-derived bifunctional urea catalyst provided β-selective primary adducts.
