Abstract
The reactions involving aryl radicals is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of a wide variety of important molecules. We have highlighted here recent developments on the generation of aryl radicals from various substrates by visible light mediated photocatalysis and their reactions with different substrates to produce a library of arylated and het-arylated compounds. These reactions are performed at room temperature using LED bulbs. Thus, this strategy is green involving less energy.
