The merger of photoredox and transition metal catalysis (now termed metallaphotoredox catalysis) has enabled the development of a wide variety of coupling reactions. We have found that with this new reaction platform, new types of C–C bonds can be formed efficiently. One prominent feature of the decarboxylative coupling chemistry is that it allows for late stage functionalization. This new strategy also provides alternative routes for the synthesis of a broad scope of pharmaceutically important molecules.
