The 3‐fluorooxindole and tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffolds are both important structures because of their associated biological and pharmaceutical activities. Herein, we report a highly diastereoselective synthesis of 3‐fluorooxindoles fully substituted at the 3‐position and containing a tetrahydroisoquinoline fragment, through the visible‐light photoredox‐catalyzed cross‐dehydrogenative coupling of tetrahydroisoquinolines with 3‐fluorooxindoles. The protocol featured a wide substrate scope: N‐alkyl‐, N‐haloalkyl‐, N‐aryl‐, N‐allyl‐, N‐propargyl‐, and NH 3‐fluorooxinloles were all able to be used to form the desired coupling products in up to 92% yield and 99 : 1 anti/syn .
