Cooperative NHC/photoredoxcatalysis has emerged as an important research field in recent years. Herein, this article describes the use of cesium salt derivatives of tert-alcohols as alkyl radical precursors in a three-component reaction with styrene and aromatic acyl fluorides to synthesize α-arylalkyl aryl ketones. The aroyl fluoride reacts with the NHC catalyst, leading to the formation of an acyl
