The best of both worlds : A combination of organocatalysis and transition‐metal catalysis serve in the highly stereoselective and atom‐economical reductive amination of a broad range of ketones. A chiral Brønsted acid catalyst facilitates the formation of protonated imines in situ and serves as chiral counteranion, while a chiral iridium complex catalyzes the reduction with elemental hydrogen.
