Dual copper- and photoredox-catalysed C(sp2)–C(sp3) coupling

Abstract

The use of copper catalysis with visible light photoredox catalysis in a cooperative fashion has recently emerged as a versatile means of developing new C–C bond forming reactions. In this work, dual copper and photoredox catalysis is exploited to effect C(sp²)–C(sp³) cross-couplings between aryl boronic acids and benzyl bromides.
