The efficiency of radical photoredox functionalization of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines is dramatically increased in the presence of a Br�nsted acid co-catalyst.  We report conditions that enable the use of commercially available Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as a photocatalyst in place of an iridium complex, and the use of household lightbulbs in place of high-intensity LEDs
