Visible‐Light‐Mediated Functionalization of Aryl Diazonium Salts

Abstract

Abstract Aryl diazonium salts are important molecules in organic chemistry. This review discusses advances of their application in light‐mediated reactions summarized in five categories according to the bond formations: (1) C−C formation from alkenes, alkynes, arenes, isocyanide, CO, arylboronic acid, or Grignard reagent. (2–5) C−B, C−N, C−S, and C−P formations. Reactions such as radical addition, elimination, metal‐catalyzed coupling, C−H activation, cyclizations, and rearrangements will be discussed herein.
