It is shown how imidazolinones are reduced by trichlorosilane in a highlyenantioselective fashion when treated with a novel Lewisbase organocatalyst that is based on a 2,2'-bispyrrolidine core. Under mild reaction conditions and with low catalyst loading the hydrosilylation reaction provides a broad range of chiral imidazolidinones with various structural motifs including sterically demanding substituents
