Abstract

A low-molecular-weight, solid CO surrogate that only requires a low-power LED for activation to release 2 equiv of CO is reported. The surrogate can be universally implemented in various palladium-catalyzed carbonylative transformations. It is also compatible with protocols that employ blue-light to activate conventionally inaccessible substrates such as nonactivated alkyl halides. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the photolabile CO-releasing scaffold can be installed into polymeric materials, thereby creating new materials with CO-releasing capabilities.
