Heterogeneous Photocatalyzed C−C Cross‐coupling Reactions Under Visible‐light and Near‐infrared Light Irradiation

Abstract With the development of photocatalytic technology and organic synthesis chemistry, the photocatalyzed cross‐coupling reaction provides one of the most attractive methodologies for the C−C bond formation and has been booming in recent years. The advantages of the heterogeneous photocatalyzed C−C cross‐coupling reaction lie in its environment friendly, easily separated and conveniently recovered catalysts. In this review, we summarized and highlighted recent achievements of heterogeneous photocatalyzed C−C cross‐coupling reactions through four aspects: visible light induced C−C cross‐coupling reactions catalyzed by Pd supported semiconductor photocatalysts; visible light induced C−C cross‐coupling reactions catalyzed by Pd based plasmonic photocatalysts; visible light induced C−C cross‐coupling reactions catalyzed by palladium‐free photocatalysts; near‐infrared light induced C−C cross‐coupling reactions.
