Amides are prevalent in organic synthesis. Developing an efficientsynthesis that avoids expensive oxidants and heating is highly desirable. Here the oxidativeamidation of aromaticaldehydes is reported using an inexpensive metal-free visible light photocatalyst, phenazine ethosulfate, at low catalytic loading (1–2 mol %). The reaction proceeds at ambient temperature and uses air as the sole oxidant
