Abstract
Irradiating 3-silyl-1,4-cyclohexadienes with blue light in the presence of a commercially available photocatalyst smoothly generated silyl radicals bearing various substituents. A subsequent trapping by a broad range of alkenes affords products in good yields within 1 h. This photoredox-induced homolysis enables also an efficient generation of germyl radicals.
