Aryl Radical Formation by Copper(I) Photocatalyzed Reduction of Diaryliodonium Salts: NMR Evidence for a CuII/CuI Mechanism

Abstract

Photocatalyzed reduction of diaryliodonium salts was achieved by using [Cu(dpp)2][PF6] as a photoactive complex and DIPEA as a reductive quench. The application of a copper catalyst allows the generation of aryl radicals under mild conditions and maintains their reactivity for CC bond formation processes.
