Impact of visible-light photoredox catalysis on traditional synthetic protocols

Zusammenfassung

In this chapter, several selected examples of classic organic reactions and their photoredox-catalyzed versions are discussed in direct comparison. The reaction conditions and mechanistic pathways are briefly discussed and potential benefits of photoredox-catalyzed versions are highlighted. Every scheme displays the reaction conditions of the photoredox-catalyzed version (top part) and the classic version (bottom part).
