Applications of visible light photoredox catalysis in organic synthesis

Abstract

Recently visible light photoredox catalysis was widely used in organic synthesis. Due to its low cost, easy availability and environmental friendliness, it has become one of the fastest growing fields in organic chemistry. This review summarizes recent development and application of visible light photoredox catalysis in organic synthesis and also gave its outlook in the future. © 2013 Chinese Chemical Society & SIOC, CAS.
