Iridium stands at the center of a vortex of electrons that are transferred to and from the surrounding reaction components in this radical aminocarbonylation method. The combination of visible‐light irradiation and low‐pressure ex situ carbon monoxide generation makes this an attractive and operationally simple approach for preparing β‐hydride‐containing alkyl amides.
