Abstract:
Photo-release of triphenylphosphine from a sulfonamide azobenzene ruthenium-arene complex was exploited to activate PdII Cl2 into Pd0 catalyst, for the photo-initiation of Sonogashira cross-coupling. The transformation was initiated on demand - by using simple white LED strip lights - with a high temporal response and the ability to control reaction rate by changing the irradiation time. Various substrates were successfully applied to this photo-initiated cross-coupling, thus illustrating the wide functional-group tolerance of our photo-caged catalyst activator, without any need for sophisticated photochemistry apparatus.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
