A direct β-coupling of cyclic ketones with imines has been accomplished via the synergistic combination of photoredox catalysis and organocatalysis. Transient β-enaminyl radicals derived from ketones via enamine and oxidative photoredox catalysis readily combine with persistent α-amino radicals in a highly selective hetero radical-radical coupling. This novel pathway to γ-aminoketones is predicated upon the use of DABCO as both a base and an electron transfer agent. This protocol also formally a ...[more]
