α‐proton rather than α‐deprotonation of the enolizable imine followed by reaction with an electrophilic silicon reagent. The silicon electrophile, stabilized by a sulfur atom, is generated by cooperative activation of an SiH bond at the RuS bond of a tethered ruthenium(II) thiolate complex. After transfer of the silicon cation onto the imine nitrogen atom, the remaining ruthenium(II) hydride fulfills

corresponding free amine and N-silylated enamine are present in equimolar ratio during the catalysis. The free amine emerges from a borohydride reduction of an iminium ion (protonated imine) that is, in turn, generated in the enamine formation step. The unexpected alternative pathway adds another enantioselectivity-determining hydridetransfer to reactions employing chiral boranes. The experiments were
