Visible light–mediated synthesis of organophosphorus
compounds: synthetic and mechanistic investigations
Sami Lakhdar

R
eactions involving phosphorus centered radicals play
a pivotal role in the construction of organophosphorus
ligands, biologically active molecules and p- conjugated
molecules. Common synthetic approaches for the generation
of such radicals imply the use of harsh reaction conditions.
In this communication, we show that access to a large variety
of organophosphorus compounds can be achieved under
mild reaction conditions through: i) visible light photoredox
catalysis or ii) visible light irradiation of Electron–Donor-
Acceptor complexes (EDA). The scope and limitations of
these methods will be discussed with a special focus on their
mechanistic aspects.
