We present the calculation of the next-to-leading corrections to the treeamplitudes which appear in the description of non-leptonic B-decays in thefactorization approach. These corrections, together with radiative correctionsto the jet functions, represent the full next-to-leading contributions to thedominant hard spectator scattering term generated by operators $O_{1,2}$ in thedecay amplitudes. Using obtained analytical results we estimate $B\to\pi\pi$branchings fractions in the physical (or BBNS) factorization scheme. We havealso found that the imaginary part generated in the hard spectator scatteringterm is rather large compared to the imaginary part of the vertex contribution.Comment: text is improved and typos are corrected, accepted for publication in JHE
