Nitrogen-containing compounds are extremely important because of their abundance in synthetic organic compounds, natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Recently, transition metal-free C-N bond-formation via radical procedures has attracted wide interest. The recent advances in C-N bond formation via C (sp³, sp² or sp)-H bond activation under transition metal-free conditions are summarized.
- C-H activation,
- C-N bond,
- radical,
- dehydrogenative coupling
