A concept for the dual use of acridine and tetrabutylammonium decatungstate photocatalysts in the reactions of carboxylic acids is proposed. Imines generated in situ from aldehydes and p -methoxyaniline, as well as other azomethines, were used as radical acceptors. The role of the decatungstate is believed to facilitate the turnover of the acridine photocatalyst by means of hydrogen atom transfer.
