Key Points

Photocatalytic generation of carboxyl radicals enables innovative decarboxylative functionalization processes.
This method efficiently achieves ortho-selective alkylation through hydrogen atom transfer.
Utilizing a photoactivated ketone enhances the feasibility of these reactions in laboratory settings.
These findings may broaden the scope of synthetic chemistry and organic transformations.

Implication

Photocatalysis generates carboxyl radicals for ortho-selective alkylation, indicating new synthetic pathways.
