Abstract
A photocatalyzed intramolecular cyclization of biarylcarboxylic acids with triphenylphosphine as an inexpensive and effective deoxygenative reagent provides fluorenones via formation of acyl radicals, which quickly undergo intramolecular radical cyclization. Reactions in the presence of air and continuous flow photoredox technology demonstrate the generality and practicality of this process.
