Abstract
Abstract Synthesis of ketones is one of the most addressed problems in organic chemistry owing to their presence in a diverse array of drugs, pharmaceuticals, natural products and photosensitizers. Many of the limitations associated with the traditional approaches enabling the synthesis of ketones like creation of high energy acylating reagents, poor functional group tolerance, pre‐activation of starting materials have been largely addressed with the advent of photoredox chemistry. This review summarizes the recent advances made in the photoredox catalyzed synthesis of ketones.
