Herein, ag eneral ande fficient arylation of aniline C(sp 3 )ÀHb onds with phenolsb ya ni ns itu activation strategy via visible-light photoredox/nickel dual catalysis is reported. The direct use of phenols as proelectrophiles features high step efficiency,t ime economy,a nd environmental impact. This protocol tolerates awide array of phenols anda nilines to afford benzylic amines in high yields with good functional-groupt olerance under low catalyst loading.

It's the Year of the Dog! Phenols are used as general and efficient arylating reagents through in situ activation in the functionalization of aniline C(sp3)−H bonds via visible‐light photoredox/nickel dual catalysis. This protocol features high step efficiency, time economy, environmental impact, broad substrate scope, high yields, good functional‐group tolerance, and low catalyst loading.
