Direct sp3 CH Amination of Nitrogen‐Containing Benzoheterocycles Mediated by Visible‐Light‐Photoredox Catalysts

Abstract Visible‐light‐mediated direct sp 3 CH amination of benzocyclic amines via α‐aminoalkyl radicals by using photoredox catalysts is described here. The obtained N , N ‐acetals were also successfully applied for carbon–carbon bond forming reactions with carbon nucleophiles. The procedure is suitable for a late‐stage modification of CH bonds to CC bonds.
