Light/Palladium‐Promoted Benzylic C−H Acylation Using a Benzoyl Group as the Photo‐Directing Group

2‐Methylphenyl ketones undergo site‐selective acylation at the benzylic position when treated with acid anhydride under UV irradiation in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The benzoyl carbonyl group serves as the photo‐directing group so that the ortho benzylic C−H bond is activated site‐selecti...
