A cationic Ir(I)–tolBINAP complex catalyzed an enantioselective C–C bond formation, which was initiated by secondary sp3 C–H bondcleavage adjacent to nitrogen atom. A wide variety of 2-(alkylamino)pyridines and alkenes were selectively transformed into the corresponding chiral amines with moderate to almost perfect enantiomeric excesses. Alkynes were also investigated as coupling partners. The effect
