An　efficient　protocol　was　proposed　for　the　preparation　of　secondary　alcohols　in　good　to　excellent　yields　via　photoredoxcatalyzed　decarboxylative　couplings　between　readily　available　arylacetic　acids　and　a　variety　of　less　reactive　(hetero)aromatic　aldehydes.　The　formation　of　carbanion　is　the　key　intermediate　in　this　reaction.　Various　substituted　arylacetic　acids　and　aldehydes　were　all　compatible　with　this　transformation　under　mild　reaction　conditions.　Furthermore,　the　current　protocol　was　successfully　applied　to　the　direct　alcoholization　of　several　drug　acids.
