Efficient visible light-mediated cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions of tertiary amines catalyzed by a polymer-immobilized iridium-based photocatalyst

Abstract

The immobilization of an iridium-based heterogeneous photocatalyst via a radical polymerization process is described, and its catalytic activity was evaluated for the aerobic phosphonylation reaction of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines under visible light irradiation.
