Recent advancements in Ni/photoredox dual catalysis for Csp3–Csp3 cross-coupling reactions

Abstract

For the construction of Csp³–Csp³ bonds, cross-coupling reactions in Ni/photoredox dual catalysis have recently achieved significant progress compared to traditional ones. In the past five years, a variety of free radical precursors have been developed to participate in redox neutral and reductive cross-coupling reactions via a dual photoredox/Ni-catalytic process. In this minireview, we mainly focus on the recent advancements (from 2019 to 2023) in Ni/photoredox dual catalysis for Csp³–Csp³ cross-coupling reactions.
