A method for the conversion of aldehydes to ketones via the preliminary formation of aldiminines is described. The imines are involved in acid promoted Minisci-type reaction with alkyl radicals generated from esters of -hydroxylphthalimide under photoredox conditions. Aminyl radical cations formed after the addition of the iminium ions are believed to be key intermediates, which determine the reaction outcome.
