Abstract: A visible‐light‐driven cooperative catalysis between dicyanopyrazine‐derived chromophore (DPZ) and N‐hydroxyimide has been developed. Under irradiation with a low‐energy and operationally convenient visible light, the cooperative catalytic system could facilitate the aerobic oxygenation of a series of benzylic sp3 C−H bonds through a photoredox pathway. The method provides a novel approach to access valuable carbonyls from benzylic methylenes and benzylic alcohols in moderate to excellent yields (up to 93 %).
