Light-mediated transformations with CO<sub>2</sub> have recently attracted great attention, with the focus on CO<sub>2</sub> incorporation into C-C double and triple bonds, organohalides and amines. Herein is demonstrated visible light -mediated umpolung imine reactivity capable of engaging CO<sub>2</sub> to afford α-amino acid derivatives. By employing benzophenone ketimine derivatives, CO<sub>2</sub> fixation by hydrocarboxylation of C=N double bonds is achieved. Good to excellent yields of a ...[more]
