[Cu(dap)₂Cl] As an Efficient Visible‐Light‐Driven Photoredox Catalyst in Carbon–Carbon Bond‐Forming Reactions

Abstract

Copper sees the light of day: [Cu(dap)(2)Cl] 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.
