Abstract Carbon–carbon bond cleavage/functionalization is synthetically valuable, and selective carbonyl−C(sp 3 ) bond cleavage/alkynylation presents a new perspective in constructing ynamides, ynoates, and ynones. Reported here is the first alkoxyl‐radical‐enabled carbonyl−C(sp 3 ) bond cleavage/alkynylation reaction by photoredox catalysis. The use of novel cyclic iodine(III) reagents are essential for β‐carbonyl alkoxyl radical generation from β‐carbonyl alcohols, including alcohols with high redox potential ( E p ox >2.2 V vs. SCE in MeCN). β‐Amide, β‐ester, and β‐ketone alcohols yield ynamides, ynoates, and ynones, respectively, for the first time, with excellent regio‐ and chemoselectivity under mild reaction conditions.
