    Acceptorless cross-dehydrogenative coupling for C(sp3)-H heteroarylation mediated by a heterogeneous GaN/ketone photocatalyst/photosensitizer system

    Alkanes are naturally abundant chemical building blocks that contain plentiful C(sp3)-H bonds. While inert, the activation of C(sp3)-H via hydrogen atom abstraction (HAT) stages an appealing approach to generate ...
