This innovative green approach enables the direct acylation of <em>N</em>-heterocycles with various aldehydes, delivering high yields under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. Mechanistic studies demonstrate a radical pathway in which visible light activates a photocatalyst (rose bengal), leading to the generation of acyl radicals through single-electron transfer (SET). These radicals subsequently react with <em>N</em>-heterocycles to yield acylated products. This method is highly valuable for synthesizing diverse <em>N</em>-heterocyclic frameworks due to its mild reaction conditions, simple operation, and broad substrate scope.
