Rh(III)-catalyzed activation and acylation of sp3 C-H bonds has been realized with diarylcyclopropenone as an acylating reagent. Both benzylic C-H in 8-methylquinolines and unactivated C-H in 2-alkylpyridines are applicable in this C-H acylation reaction, providing enones in good yields under redox-neutral conditions.
