We have developed a novel Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides and alkyl iodides via a photoactive electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex. This photo-induced process enables the efficient construction of C(sp 2 )-C(sp 3 ) bonds in the absence of an external photocatalyst. Electronically and structurally diverse aryl bromides, as well as secondary and primary alkyl iodides could undergo this transformation smoothly. Natural product derivatives were employed successfully, and UV-vis spectroscopy was utilized to gain mechanistic insight.
