A metal-free heterogeneous protocol is established herein for the synthesis of value-added γ-amino acid scaffolds via carbocarboxylation of alkenes with CO 2 and alkylamines under visible light irradiation. The protocol shows broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions and good stability of the catalyst for recycle tests. Moreover, the methodology could be feasible to the late-stage derivatization of several natural products, enriching the chemical arsenal for practical application., (© 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)
