Photoexcited arylketones catalyze the direct chlorination of C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H groups by <i>N</i>-chlorosuccinimide. Acetophenone is the most effective catalyst for functionalization of unactivated C-H groups while benzophenone provides better yields for benzylic C-H functionalization. Activation of both acetophenone and benzophenone can be achieved by irradiation with a household compact fluorescent lamp. This light-dependent reaction provides a better control of the reaction as compared to t ...[more]
