The switchable visible-light-mediated decarboxylative Heck-type reaction and oxo-alkylation reaction of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters under photocatalysis were developed. Disubstituted or trisubstituted alkenes were obtained in good yield with high E-selectivity in the presence of Brønsted acid as the additive, while ketones resulted in the absence of the acidic additive.
