We have developed the use of acyl imidazoles derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids for N-heterocylic carbene/organic photoredox-cocatalyzed meta-selective functionalization of electron-rich arenes. The change of wavelength of LED light from 440 nm to 390 nm compared to our previous work promoted this reaction efficiently.
