Recent Progress on the Nickel/Photoredox Dual Catalysis

Abstract

A dual-catalysis system merging the visible light photoredox with transition metal nickel catalysis enables a new strategy to build the novel carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond, which are not generally possible via using either photoredox or nickel catalysis alone. This mild, green and promising protocol has attracted the interest of some scientific researchers. In this review, the recent progress of nickel/photoredox dual catalysis is summarized.
