The Team of Dr Maciej Giedyk has published a review describing strategies for the photocatalytic activation of organic chlorides. Over the last few months, these compounds have aroused great interest as substrates in sustainable organic synthesis. Analysing current literature reports, the authors propose a classification of the available methods based on the method of light energy accumulation in a catalytic system or reduction of bond energy in substrates. Such approach makes it easier to systematize the available knowledge and can become an inspiration for new discoveries.
