We report herein a catalyst‐free method to perform decarboxylative conjugated addition and hydrodecarboxylation of aliphatic N‐(acyloxy)phthalimides (redox active esters, RAEs) through photoactivation of electron‐donor‐acceptor (EDA) complex with Hantzsch ester (HE) in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMA) solution. The reactions present a green method to decarboxylatively construct carbon‐carbon bond and to perform hydrodecarboxylation with broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance under mild blue light irradiation condition without recourse of popularly used photoredox catalysts.
