title: The coupling of tertiary amines with acrylate derivatives via visible-light photoredox catalysis.
abstract: Catalyzed by Ru(bpy)3(BF4)2, the photoredox coupling of tertiary amines with acrylate derivatives including Baylis-Hillman adducts under visible light irradiation was successfully established. The scope of the substrates was broad, and thus an array of γ-aminobutyric ester derivatives was obtained in moderate to good yields.
