Abstract
Photoredox catalysis enables an efficient deoxygenative radical cyclization reaction of biarylcarboxylic acids for the synthesis of fluorenones. This photocatalytic intramolecular acyl radical coupling reaction provides valuable fluorenone products with mild conditions, good yields, and good functional-group compatibility.
