Herein, we report a photoexcited base-metal-catalyzed selective desaturation of aliphaticamides and imides. The reaction is catalyzed by a base-metal cobalt complex under visible-light irradiation. This transformation can be efficiently processed at room temperature and enables the synthesis of valuable cyclic and acyclic enamides and enimides from abundant chemicals.
