γ-Functionalizations of Amines through Visible-Light-Mediated, Redox-Neutral C-C Bond Cleavage.

Cleavage of unstrained C-C bonds under mild, redox-neutral conditions represents a challenging endeavor which is accomplished here in the context of a flexible, visiblelight-mediated, gamma-functionalization of amines. In situ generated C-centered radicals are harvested in the presence of Michael acceptors, thiols and alkyl halides to efficiently form new C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)), C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(3))-Br bonds, respectively.
