Cover Picture: Mild and Low-Pressure fac -Ir(ppy) 3 -Mediated Radical Aminocarbonylation of Unactivated Alkyl Iodides through Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis (Chem. Eur. J. 27/2016)

Iridium stands at the center of a vortex of electrons that are transferred to and from the surrounding reaction components in this radical aminocarbonylation method. The combination of visible-light irradiation and low-pressure ex situ carbon monoxide generation makes this an attractive and operationally simple approach for preparing β-hydride-containing alkyl amides.
