Metallaphotoredox: The Merger of Photoredox and Transition Metal Catalysis

Amy Y. Chan et al.

Summary: The merger of photoredox catalysis with transition metal catalysis, known as metallaphotoredox catalysis, has become an important part of synthetic methodology. It combines the bond formation capability of transition metal catalysis with the utility of photoinduced electron and energy transfer processes. Photocatalytic substrate activation allows the involvement of simple starting materials in metal-mediated bond-forming processes, while electron or energy transfer with organometallic intermediates provides a complementary activation mode to traditional catalytic platforms.

Catalytic synthesis of phenols with nitrous oxide

Franck Le Vaillant et al.

Summary: This study presents a method for inserting N2O into a Ni-C bond to synthesize valuable phenols under mild conditions. This method provides an alternative catalytic approach for the conversion of aryl halides to phenols, different from traditional strategies.
