Abstract
A visible-light-driven nickel and iridium dual catalysis enables the migratory benzylic arylation of nonactivated alkyl bromides with aryl bromides to provide 1,1-diarylalkanes in the presence of diisopropylamine as the terminal reductant. This method tolerates a wide range of functional groups.
