Visible light-induced acylation of heteroaromatic compounds have been achieved using benzoyl hydrazides as an efficient acyl source under mild reaction conditions. The photo-redox catalyzed oxidative cleavage of hydrazides leads to in situ formation of acyl radicals, which subsequently couple with various N-heterocycles to produce acylated products. This synthetic strategy performs the classic Minisci reaction in an eco-friendly and greener way with functional group tolerance and regioselectivity. Control experiments confirm the radical pathway for this transformation.
