The knights that say enamine: Organocatalytic intermolecular α‐alkylation has been a long awaited prize for organocatalytic chemists. Recently several research groups have reported several methodologies with high levels of stereoselectivity. In this Minireview we aim to describe the efforts made in this field in recent years.
