A BODIPY-functionalized PdII photoredox catalyst for Sonogashira C–C cross-coupling reactions†
Abstract
We report for the first time a BODIPY-functionalized dichloro(1,10-phenanthroline)palladium(II) complex as an efficient photoredox catalyst for the Sonogashira C–C cross-coupling between phenylacetylene derivatives and iodobenzene derivatives with yields up to 92% under visible light illumination at room temperature.
