The directdecarboxylativearylation of α-amino acids has been achieved via visible light-mediated photoredoxcatalysis. This method offers rapid entry to prevalent benzylic amine architectures from an abundant biomass, specifically α-amino acid precursors. Significant substrate scope is observed with respect to both the amino acid and arene components.
