Abstract
A mild and environmentally friendly visible-light-mediated additive-free decarboxylative functionalization of acrylic acids in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate, the inexpensive organic dye 9,10-dicyanoanthracene as a photocatalyst, and dioxygen as both an oxygen source and an oxidant provides a series of important α-thiocyanate ketones.
