Abstract The development of versatile methods for the formation carbon‐nitrogen bonds has significant impact on synthetic chemistry community. However, it remains challenging owing to utilization costly catalyst systems and harsh reaction conditions. Compared conventional methods, photoredox catalysis which harnesses energy from light emerged as an environmentally benign cost‐effective strategy promoting C−N bond constructions. Furthermore, synergistic action with another catalytic process a...
