TL;DR: A general copper-catalysed enantioconvergent C( sp 3 )–C( sp ) cross-coupling of diverse racemic tertiary alkyl halides with terminal alkynes has been developed, forging all-carbon quaternary stereocentres.

TL;DR: Recently, significant efforts have been dedicated to basic research aimed at developing chiral ligands for copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this paper , a copper/chiral N, N,N,N-ligand catalytic system for the enantioconvergent cross-coupling of benzyl/propargyl halides with alkenylboronate esters with good functional group tolerance is presented.

TL;DR: In this article , a single-electron transfer (SET) oxidant was used for invoking chiral CuII species and chiral multidentate anionic N,N,P-ligands for effective enantiocontrol.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe a radical 1,2-carboamination with sulfoximines in a highly chemo-and enanti-selective manner, where the key to the success of this process is the conceptual design of a counterion/highly sterically demanded ligand coeffect to promote the ligand exchange of copper(I) with sulfoxideimines and forge chiral C-N bonds between alkyl radicals and the chiral copper(II) complex.
