Photoredox functionalization of C–H bonds adjacent to a nitrogen atom

Abstract

The functionalization of C–H bonds and the visible light photoredox catalysis represent two prominent challenges in organic chemistry. In this regard, the combination of visible-light catalysis and C–H bond functionalization adjacent to a tertiary amine has been successfully developed in the past three years. In this tutorial review, we aim to give a brief overview of this issue and state the main results obtained in the reactions.
