Regioselective trifluoromethylation at a remote position represents an important challenge in the development of biologically active molecules and functional materials. A practical method to access β‐trifluoromethyl ketones from readily available propargylic alcohols by visible light photocatalysis has been developed. Trifluoromethylation of propargylic alcohols with CF 3 I in the presence of Ru(bpy) 3 Cl 2 as the photocatalyst followed by double‐bond migration/keto‐enol tautomerization provides β‐trifluoromethyl ketones as the final product.
