[Cu(dap) _2Cl] as an efficient visible-light-driven photoredox catalyst in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions

摘要

Copper sees the light of day: [Cu(dap) _2Cl] proved to be an excellent photoredox catalyst for atom-transfer radical addition reactions, as well as for allylation reactions (see scheme), providing an attractive alternative to commonly used iridium- and ruthenium-based catalysts.
