Visible-Light-Promoted C-H Arylation by Merging Palladium Catalysis with Organic Photoredox Catalysis

The use of a dual palladium/organic photoredox catalytic system enables the directed arylation of arenes with aryldiazonium salts with a broad substrate scope at room temperature under mild reaction conditions. This study thus serves as not only an alternative route for the biaryl motifs but also a new example for the application of an organic photoredox catalyst.
