Copper complexes of monodentate phosphoramidites efficiently promote asymmetric arylation of N ‐azaaryl aldimines with arylboroxines. DFT calculations and experiments support an elementary step of 1,4‐insertion in the reaction pathway, a step in which an aryl‐copper species adds directly across four atoms of C=N−C=N in the N ‐azaaryl aldimines.
