Photoinduced disproportionation enables oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a gallium(I) center
By
Mamoru Tobisu
Summary
This scientific article reports a breakthrough in main-group chemistry: the first oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a gallium(I) center, enabled by photoinduced disproportionation. This challenges the traditional view that oxidative addition of aryl halides is exclusive to transition metals, opening new possibilities for main-group-mediated cross-coupling reactions.

· 2 pulledOxidative addition at transition metals underpins modern cross-coupling reactions but remains largely unrealized at main-group centers for aryl halides.
Here, we show that photoinduced disproportionation enables oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a gallium(I) center.
