Catalysis in the Excited State: Bringing Innate Transition Metal Photochemistry into Play
Indexed incrossrefpubmed
Abstract
Transition metal catalysis is an indispensable tool for organic synthesis that has been harnessed, modulated, and perfected for many decades by careful selection of metal centers and ligands, giving rise to synthetic methods with unparalleled efficiency and chemoselectivity. Recent developments have demonstrated how light irradiation can also be recruited as a powerful tool to dramatically alter the outcome of catalytic reactions, providing access to innovative pathways with remarkable synthetic potential. In this context, the adoption of photochemical conditions as a mainstream strategy to drive organic reactions has unveiled exciting opportunities to exploit the rich excited-state framework of transition…
