Benzyl and allyl halides undergo homocoupling when treated with zinc in the presence of a catalytic amount of a cationic iridium(III) complex under irradiation with 400 nm light-emitting diodes. The reaction proceeds through the intermediate formation of an organozinc reagent, which disproportionates to a free radical and elemental zinc under photoredox conditions.
