Abstract
Abstract In this work, a visible‐light enabled coupling of acylsilanes with aldehydes to give a range of cross‐benzoin type products α‐hydroxyketones is described. The reaction could proceed at ambient temperature, with the irradiation of low energy visible light, and without addition of photosensitizer or any other additives. magnified image
