Light-Induced Activation of C–X Bond via Carbonate-Assisted Anion−π Interactions: Applications to C–P and C–B Bond Formation
Vishal Jyoti Roy, Sudipta Raha Roy
Abstract
We have presented a carbonate anion assisted photochemical protocol for the C-X bond activation. Anion-π interactions have been leveraged to generate aryl radicals from easily accessible aryl halides that are further utilized in C-P and C-B bond formation reactions with excellent reactivity and broad functional group tolerance. Spectroscopic investigations and DFT studies were conducted for mechanistic insights. This inexpensive method alleviates the use of a photocatalyst and the need of preactivation of the substrate for the light-induced activation of C-X bonds.
