Aryl diazonium salts are important molecules in organic chemistry. This review discusses advances of their application in light‐mediated reactions summarized in five categories according to the bond formations: (1) C−C formation from alkenes, alkynes, arenes, isocyanide, CO, arylboronic acid, or Grignard reagent. (2–5) C−B, C−N, C−S, and C−P formations. Reactions such as radical addition, elimination, metal‐catalyzed coupling, C−H activation, cyclizations, and rearrangements will be discussed herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
