Abstract
The construction of (hetero)biaryls plays a crucial role in chemical science, with applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products, and organic materials. While aryl sulfonium salts (aryl thianthrenium‐salts and aryl DBT‐salts) have provided access to (hetero)biaryls, these methods typically require photocatalysts or transition metals to activate the reagents. Herein, a mild, visible light‐mediated, transition metal‐free, and catalyst‐free arylation of arenes using aryl phenothiazinium salts as dual functional reagents is reported. A variety of biaryls and heterobiaryls are obtained in moderate to high yields.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
