Read the publication that featured this abstractMild cross-coupling reaction between benzylboronic esters with carbonyl compounds and some imines was achieved under visible-light-induced iridium-catalyzed photoredox conditions. Functional group tolerance was demonstrated by 51 examples, including 13 heterocyclic compounds. Gram-scale reaction was realized through the use of computer-controlled continuous flow photoreactors.
