Photoredox-mediated C-H bond alkylation of 6-aryl-2,2′-bipyridines with N -(acyloxy)phthalimides is reported. The reaction exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, including chiral aliphatic groups. The influence of the incorporated C6′ -alkyl group on the photophysical properties of the corre...
