Reported here are conditions for the construction of spirocyclic piperidines from linear aryl halide precursors. These conditions employ a strongly reducing organic photoredox catalyst in combination with a trialkylamine reductant to achieve formation of aryl radical species. Regioselective cyclization followed by hydrogen-atom transfer affords a range of complex spiropiperidines. This system operates efficiently under mild conditions without the need for toxic reagents or precious metals.
