One pot synthesis of enantioenriched homoallylamines from nitriles is described. Chirally modified allylboron reagents reacted with N-borylimines derived from partial reduction of nitriles with LiEt3BH to afford enantioenriched homoallylamines in up to 90% ee.

N-borylimine - homoallylamine - nitrile - LiEt3BH - allylboration
