A mild method for decarboxylative C−C bond formation between natural carboxylic acids and alkynes is reported. Activation of a very broad scope of carboxylic acids derived from renewable resources is achieved by esterification to N ‐(acyloxy)phthalimides. The cross‐coupling with acetylenic sulfones proceeds under irradiation with green light (528 nm) in the presence of the organic photocatalyst eosin Y and provides a metal‐free, environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative to known decarboxylative alkynylations.
