A photoinduced carboxylation of alkyl halides with CO2 at remote sp3 C–H sites enabled by the merger of photoredox and Ni catalysis is described. This protocol features a predictable reactivity and site‐selectivity that can be modulated by the ligand backbone. Preliminary studies reinforce a rationale based on a dynamic displacement of the catalyst throughout the alkyl side‐chain.
