Not to be out PhOXed! The title reaction provides a new approach to chiral succinimide derivatives with excellent yields and ee  values by using a low catalyst loading (0.05 mol %) and mild reaction conditions. Chiral 3‐benzyl pyrrolidines and 1‐hydroxypyrrolidine‐2,5‐diones, important structural motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals, could be readily prepared. BARF − =tetrakis[3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate.
