Abstract
A general copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical N-alkylation of aromatic amines with secondary/tertiary alkyl halides deliver value-added chiral amines and exhibits catalyst-controlled stereoselectivity. This strategy accommodates diverse aromatic amines, especially bulky secondary and primary ones to (>110 examples).
