The Rh(I)-catalyzed direct reorganization of organic frameworks and group exchanges between carboxylic acids and aryl ketones was developed with the assistance of directinggroup. Biaryls, alkenylarenes, and alkylarenes were produced in high efficiency from aryl ketones and the corresponding carboxylic acids by releasing the other molecule of carboxylic acids and carbon monoxide. A wide range of functional

The rhodium(I)‐catalyzed extrusion of carbon monoxide from biaryl ketones and alkyl/alkenyl arylketones was developed to produce biaryls and alkyl/alkenyl arenes, respectively, in high yields (see scheme). A wide range of functionalities are tolerated. Not only does this method provide an alternative pathway to construct useful scaffolds, but also offers a new strategy for CCbond activation.
