标题：synergistic photo-copper-catalyzed hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides with molecular oxygen
abstact：photoredox-mediated copper-catalyzed hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides (including chlorides, bromides, and iodides) with o2 at room temperature has been developed. preliminary mechanistic studies indicate no arylcopper intermediate and that aryl radicals are involved in this procedure. 18o-labeling experiments confirm the hydroxyl oxygen atom originated from molecular oxygen.
