A new strategy for the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of benzoxazines involving an in situ generation of Hantzsch ester has been developed. Dihydroadducts were isolated in good yields (75–99%) and enantioselectivities (89–96% ee).

Pnictogen-bonding catalysisbased on σ-hole interactions has recently attracted the attention of synthetic chemists. As a proof-of-concept for asymmetric pnictogen-bonding catalysis, we report herein an enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of benzoxazines catalyzed by a novel chiral antimony cation/anion pair. The chiral pnictogen catalyst library could be rapidly accessed from triarylstibine with
