A ray of sunshine : In nature, carboxylic acids and their derivatives are a ubiquitous class of organic compounds, and their transformations to different types of valuable compounds are of great importance in various fields. Fortunately, photoredox decarboxylative reactions with visible light as a renewable energy source have provided many opportunities for some significant transformations by releasing CO 2 . Herein, we have summarized recent advances in the visible‐light photoredox decarboxylative couplings, including formation of C−C and C−Y (Y=heteroatom) bonds.
