α-Arylation of cyclic ketones via an organophotocatalytic route has been described utilizing PXZ-TRZ, a molecule displaying thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Using this route, a plethora of cyclic ketones including cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone and even cyclooctanone can be effectively arylated with many aryl iodides or bromides under mild conditions.
