The generation of tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl radicals has been achieved by the direct visible-light excita-tion of a boracene-based alkylborate. This system is based on the photophysical properties of the organoboron mole-cule. The protocol is applicable to decyanoalkylation, Giese addition, and nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond for-mations such as alkyl-aryl cross-coupling or vicinal
