Description
Summary:	In recent years, visible‐light‐induced C−H bond functionalization has become an emerging field at the forefront of organic chemistry. In a general sense, these approaches rely on the capability of metal complexes and organic dyes to convert visible light into chemical energy by engaging in single‐electron transfer with organic substrates, thus generating reactive intermediates. This review covers most of the strategies involving visible light‐induced benzylic and non‐benzylic alkylation, halogination, oxidation, vinylation, arylation, benzylation, acetylation, formylation, thiocyanation, xanthylation, azidation, amination, addition, and coupling reactions of sp2 and sp3 C−H bonds.
