Visible-Light-Mediated Functionalization of Aryl Diazonium Salts

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.
