We report a protocol for aryl cross-coupling of electron-deficient aryl halides with electron-rich (hetero)arenes that is driven solely by violet light. This process takes advantage of formation of photo-excited state of electron-deficient aryl halides, that are reduced by electron-rich (hetero)aren...
