Significance

A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with carboxylic acids under visible-light irradiation is disclosed. The reaction affords aryl esters in moderate to good yields. Key to success is the design and use of a non-innocent phosphinoacridine ligand.

Comment

Experimental mechanistic studies revealed that the palladium(II) species undergoes a photoinduced reductive elimination, which is promoted by a metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) in the excited state.
