Abstract

In a dual visible light photoredox and gold catalysis system, Au(I) is oxidized in a stepwise fashion by photogenerated aryl radicals leading to cationic Au(III) species, a process which is incorporated into various domino functionalization/coupling reactions. This article presents an overview of the major contributions reported in this field, emphasizing those involving aryldiazonium or diaryliodonium salts as general radical sources.
