Reactions involving phosphorus centered radicals play a pivotal role in the construction of organophosphorus ligands, biologically active and p–conjugated molecules.[1] Common synthetic approaches for the generation of such radicals imply the use of harsh reaction conditions. In this presentation, we show that access to a large variety of organophosphorus compounds can be achieved under mild reaction conditions through i) visible light photoredox catalysis or ii) visible light irradiation of Electron–Donor-Acceptor complexes (EDA). The scope and limitations of these methods will be discussed with a special focus on their mechanistic aspects.[2]
