Oxidative Addition to Palladium(0) Made Easy through Photoexcited ‐State Metal Catalysis: Experiment and Computation

AngewchemOxidative Addition to Palladium(0) Made Easy through Photoexcited ‐State Metal Catalysis: Experiment and ComputationDr. Rajesh Kancherla, Dr. Krishnamoorthy Muralirajan, Dr. Bholanath Maity, Chen Zhu, Patricia E. Krach, Prof.  Dr. Luigi Cavallo, Prof. Dr. Magnus Rueping Excited ‐state palladium catalyzed decarboxylative alkylation of α,β‐unsaturated acids is achieved by a barrierless approach under visible light irradiation at room temperature with good stereoselectivity. Detailed DFT calculations with experimental evidence suggests a neutral decarboxylative pathway.
