Enantioselective α‐photoalkylation of β‐ketocarbonyls without any external photosensitizer was described in this work. The photoalkylation reactions, enabled solely by a chiral primary amine catalyst, provided convenient constructions of all‐carbon quaternary stereocenters with good activity and high enantioselectivity. Mechanism studies revealed a direct photolytic radical chain process under visible light irradiation.
