Combining Gold and Photoredox Catalysis: Visible Light-Mediated Oxy- and Aminoarylation of Alkenes
A room-temperature intramolecular oxy- and aminoarylation of alkenes with aryldiazonium salts has been developed using a novel gold and photoredox dual-catalytic system. The compatibility of these two catalytic modes has been established for the first time and demonstrates the potential of this system as a method to expand the scope of nucleophilic addition reactions to carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
