The N-cyclopropylation of aromatic and aliphatic secondary acyclic amides, known to be poor nucleophiles, has been accomplished using a simple and cheap copper system. The corresponding tertiary acyclic amides, which constitute a wide family of biologically active compounds, have been obtained in good to excellent yields.
