We report herein the highly enantioselective synthesis of 2‐substituted tetrahydroquinolines through borrowing hydrogen, a process recognized for its environmentally benign and atom‐economical nature. The use of an achiral iridacycle complex in combination with a chiralphosphoricacid as catalysts was the key to the development of this highly efficient and enantioselective transformation.
