Here we report the application of dual nickel/photoredox catalysis to the allylation of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes by using commercially available reagents. The process utilizes the combination of a Ni(ii) complex, [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photoredox catalyst, and allylacetate under blue LED irradiation, and allows the synthesis of a large variety of homoallylic alcohols.
