entry	amine	product	time	yieldb
1	R = H		5 h	90%
2	R = Me		3 h	97%
3	R = OMe		24 h	94%

^aUnless otherwise noted, reactions were conducted using 2 mol% Ru(bpy)₃Cl₂, 2 equiv of MVK, and 1 equiv of TFA in degassed MeCN (0.25 M) at 50 °C and were irradiated using a 23 W compact fluorescent light bulb at a distance of 30 cm.

^bValues represent the averaged isolated yields of two reproducible experiments unless otherwise noted.

^cYield determined by ¹H NMR using an internal standard.
