The visible-light mediated oxidative C-C bond cleavage of aldehydes has been achieved in good yields at ambient temperature and open to air using Ru(bpy)(3)Cl(2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as the photoredox catalyst. Moreover, we further demonstrated the application in a tandem Michael/oxidative C-C bond cleavage reaction.
