Cation Radical Accelerated Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution via Organic Photoredox Catalysis

JacsCation Radical Accelerated Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution via Organic Photoredox Catalysis: Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a direct method for arene functionalization; however, it can be hampered by low reactivity of arene substrates and their availability. Herein we describe a cation radical-accelerated nucleophilic aromatic substitution using methoxy- and benzyloxy-groups as nucleofuges.
