unreacted starting material. This suggests the intermediacy of
a discreet radical intermediate rather than a caged radical
pair5b and that acyl radical 38 may be required for efficient
radical propagation. However, further studies are needed to
fully elucidate the reaction mechanism.
In summary, a carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of
unactivated alkyl halides with aryl boronic acids has been
presented. By using visible-light irradiation, alkyl halides were
coupled with aryl boronic acids under ambient temperature
and low CO-pressure in moderate to very good yields. In
general, the isolated yields were in the same range as
previously reported using elevated CO-pressures and high
energy irradiation. Notably, a SET or photosensitization event
between Pd(PPh3)4 and the alkyl halide substrate circumvents
the need for an expensive photocatalyst. Furthermore, the
application of challenging alkyl bromides as substrates has
been realized for the first time. Additional improvements to
related methods are the use of a solid CO-source instead of 10
gaseous CO and use of cheap and readily available LED lights 11
that together with the double-chamber system constitutes a
convenient reaction set-up. Moreover, the discovery that the 12
combination of a simple palladium catalyst and visible-light
irradiation can promote efficient radical generation from 13
challenging alkyl halide substrates opens up an exciting new
dimension in both palladium and photocatalysis chemistry.
Further studies to explore the scope of this process are
currently underway in our laboratory and will be reported in
due course.
