The carboazidation of olefins represents an effective strategy to introduce both carbon and nitrogen substituents into hydrocarbons, but asymmetric versions of this reaction remain elusive. Now, an iron-catalysed asymmetric radical carboazidation is introduced that yields chiral halogenated organoazides in high enantiomeric ratios.
