A first highly enantioselective catalytic method has been developed for the reduction of aromatic N ‐alkyl ketimines by trichlorosilane under mild conditions using the newly designed Lewis base organocatalyst 3 that incorporates C ‐ and S ‐chirality (see scheme). Excellent enantioselectivities up to 99.6 % ee and high yields were obtained for a wide range of substrates.
