Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate performs as an efficient photocatalyst in the direct C–H to C–C bond conversion under blue light irradiation via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). This uranyl salt enables the remarkable smooth functionalization of unactivated (cyclo)alkanes, ethers, acetals, and amides via radical addition onto electrophilic olefins.

Photoinduced hydrogen abstraction from aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons (C(5) to C(7), C(12), as well as adamantane) by triplet aromatic ketones in the presence of alpha,beta-unsaturated (di)nitriles offers a straightforward entry to the corresponding alkylated (di)nitriles via the alkyl radicals. Yields are moderate to good depending on the olefins structure (substitution in beta slows down the addition
