Abstract
Herein, we review dual photoredox/transition-metal catalysis for C−C/C−N cross-couplings and C−H activation in continuous-flow processes. Compared to conventional transition-metal catalysis for these reactions, visible-light-mediated synergistic catalysis enables the use of relatively mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions by decreasing the activation energy and using a renewable energy source. However, photochemical transformations in batch processing have limitations such as reactivity, reaction time, substrate scope, and scalability due to light attenuation as represented by the Beer-Lambert law. In this review article, we therefore summarize and discuss several examples of cross-couplings and C−H activation in continuous-flow processes that overcome these problems in batch processing.
