Simple and abundant carboxylic acids have been used as acyl radical precursor by means of visible‐light photoredox catalysis. By the transient generation of a reactive anhydride intermediate, this redox‐neutral approach offers a mild and rapid entry to high‐value heterocyclic compounds without the need of UV irradiation, high temperature, high CO pressure, tin reagents, or peroxides.
