first example of visible-light-driven reductive carboarylation
of styrenes with CO2 and aryl halides in a regioselective
manner has been achieved. A broad range of aryl iodides and bromides
were compatible with this reaction. Moreover, pyridyl halides, alkyl
halides, and even aryl chlorides were also viable with this method.
These findings may stimulate the exploration of novel visible-light-driven
Meerwein arylation-addition reactions with user-friendly aryl halides
as the radical sources and the photocatalytic utilization of CO2.
