Ambient Hydrocarbonylation of Olefins Enabled by Visible‐Light
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel photo‐induced methodology for hydrocarbonylation has been established, resolving the inherent conflicts between competitive olefin and CO insertion in traditional methods that necessitate harsh conditions. Accordingly, an efficient and versatile hydrocarbonylation of olefins enabled by visible‐light irradiation under ambient conditions has been
