Transition-metal-, oxidant- and additive-free multi-component synthesis of alkyl heteroaryl BCPs enabled by visible-light-induced phosphine-catalyzed halogen-atom transfer

Abstract

This study describes a pioneering visible-light-induced phosphine-catalyzed halogen-atom transfer (XAT) strategy that heralds a new era in the difunctionalization of [1.1.1]propellane.
