Chemistry With N-Centered Radicals Generated by Single-Electron Transfer-Oxidation Using Photoredox Catalysis

This review covers the recent literature on oxidative generation of N-centered radicals using photoredox catalysis. The concept of proton-coupled electron transfer is briefly discussed. Applications of such reactive N-centered radicals in cascade processes comprising arene amidation, alkene amidation, C-C bond cleavage reactions, and remote C-H functionalization are addressed. In addition, novel reagents allowing for clean oxidative N-radical generation are discussed. [GRAPHICS] .
