Abstract

Dual light-excited ketone/transition-metal catalysis is a rapidly developing field of photochemistry. It allows for versatile functionalizations of C–H or C–X bonds enabled by triplet ketone acting as a hydrogen-atom-abstracting agent, a single-electron acceptor, or a photosensitizer. This review summarizes recent developments of synthetically useful transformations promoted by the synergy between triplet ketone and transition-metal catalysis.
