In this review article recent developments in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of imines from 2008 up to today are presented. The main methodology involves either metal‐catalyzed procedures in the presence of a chiral ligand or organocatalyzed technologies using a H antzsch ester and a chiral BINOL ‐derived phosphoric acid. The most important procedures are collected, paying special attention to the application of this methodology in synthetic organic chemistry.
