Get straight to the point! The elusive and direct organocatalytic β-functionalization of saturated carbonyl compounds has been tackled by oxidative enamine catalysis, oxidative NHC catalysis and merging of photoredox catalysis with organocatalysis. This new activation mode expanded the horizons of c...
