Traditional transitional metal catalyzed C-N bond formations requently require high temperatures and long reaction times, such as in the classic Ullmann and Goldberg couplings. On the other hand, electronically excited photoredox catalysts can general radical intermediates in organic susbtrates under very mild conditions at high efficiency. Combining tranditional transitional metal catalysis and photoredox catalysis, we are able to develop a novel C-N bond formation strategy between aryl bromides and N-heterocycles.
