A catalytic enantioselective reduction of α-trifluoromethylated imines by a BINOL-derived boro-phosphate employing catecholborane as hydride source has been developed. This method provides an efficient route to prepare synthetically useful chiral α-trifluoromethylated amines in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield and 96% ee) under mild conditions.
