Photochemistry is an established field that has proven utility for facilitating challenging transformations using environmentally-benign, mild conditions. Herein we report the synthesis of aliphatic 1-aminonorbornanes from aminocyclopropanes using a photo-excitable Schiff base auxiliary. This formal [3+2] cycloaddition requires <i>only</i> visible light at ambient temperature to proceed, making this an operationally-simple method for the formation of these under-utilized building blocks.
