Photocatalytic carboxylation of aryl halides/alkenes with a copper(I) complex bypassing the demand for dual catalysts.

We demonstrate the photocatalytic carboxylation of aryl halides/alkenes using a copper(I)-phen complex as a standalone photocatalyst bypassing the demand for dual metal catalysis or organic dye/metal catalysis. Up to 84% yield is achieved with the us…
