Abstract
The development of transition-metal-free arylation procedures represents a key goal
in modern organic synthesis. A green arylation can be obtained by having recourse
to light as a ‘clean’ reagent in place of toxic metals. In particular, a new method
based upon the photoheterolytic fragmentation of substituted aryl halides or esters,
with the formation of aryl cations has recently emerged. The peculiar reactivity of
these cations with carbon nucleophiles allows several straightforward photo-arylations,
which compare favorably with other thermal or photochemical metal-free analogues.
