Dual copper photoredox catalysis is an excellent route to the formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. The use of a photosensitizer in these reactions activates substrates or accelerates sluggish redox processes of the TM co-catalyst through either electron or energy transfer processes. Alternatively, the TM catalyst can be directly photoexcited, as reported by Wang and co-workers for the cross-coupling of diaryl sulfoximines and boronic acids. In terms of C-N cross coupling, Yoo and co-workers developed a photoredox mediated Ullmann cross coupling of carbazole derivatives using fac-Ir(ppy)3. The same group then investigated the copper-mediated Chan-Lam metallaphotoredox catalysis reaction, which we identified as a suitable model reaction in which to test Ir(pmi)3 as a metallaphotoredox catalyst.
