Synergistic Photoredox/Transition-Metal Catalysis for Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation Reactions

Carbon-carbon bond formation reactions are of longstanding interest in organic chemistry. Improvements of the methods targeting its creation are still being performed, especially thanks to the development of innovative methodologies in transition metal catalysis and photocatalysis. This review will tackle the combination of transition metal and photoredox cycles to create carbon-carbon bonds, focusing on the four transition metals most reported in the literature in this domain: Ni, Pd, Au and Cu.
