The radical-mediated transition metal-free approach for the direct C–H bond functionalization of arenes is considered as a cost effective alternative to transition metal-based catalysis. An organic ligand-based radical plays a key role by generating an aryl radical which undergoes a subsequent functionalization process. The design principle of the present study takes advantage of a relatively s...

Photoredox-mediated Minisci C–H alkylation of N-heteroarenes using boronic acids and hypervalent iodine† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c6sc02653b Click here for additional data file.

A photoredox-mediated Minisci C–H alkylation reaction of N-heteroarenes with alkyl boronic acids is reported. A broad range of primary and secondary alkyl groups can be efficiently incorporated into various N-heteroarenes using [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as photocatalyst and acetoxybenziodoxole as oxidant under mild conditions. The reaction exhibits excellent substrate scope and functional group tolerance, ...
