Acyl Radicals from Aromatic Carboxylic Acids by Means of Visible‐Light Photoredox Catalysis

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Simple and abundant carboxylic acids have been used as acyl radical precursor by means of visible-light photoredox catalysis. By the transient generation of a reactive anhydride intermediate, this redox-neutral approach offers a mild and rapid entry to high-value heterocyclic compounds without the need of UV irradiation, high temperature, high CO pressure, tin reagents, or peroxides.
