An efficient and green protocol for synthesizing β‐acyloxyselenides was developed through the visible‐light‐induced difunctionalization of styrenes with a binary system of diaryldiselenides and carboxylic acids under mild reaction conditions, without using any transition‐metal‐catalysts. This protocol is scalable and tolerates a wide spectrum of styrenes and carboxylic acids to deliver the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields, providing convenient approach to β‐acyloxyselenides.
