Tetrabenzylhafnium has been explored as a new organometallic reagent for the imine addition reaction. This reagent tolerates a wide scope of imines, affording α‐branched amines in excellent yields without the use of any additive or catalyst. This new reagent shows higher efficiency than that observed for classic Grignard and organolithium reagents.
