In this work, we develop an oxidation-induced C–H functionalization strategy, which not only leads to a new avenue to build C–N bonds, but also leads to different site-selectivity compared with “classic directing-groups”. The high selectivity of our new catalytic system originates from the heterogeneous electron-density distribution of the radical cation species which are induced by single electron transfer between the aromatics and oxidant-Cu(ii) species.

Abstract: In this work, we achieved a site‐selective amination of 2‐arylimidazoheterocycles on the C3 position using photo‐induced external oxidant‐free strategy. The C−N bond formation with H2 evolution was realized via the oxidative C−H/N−H coupling. This protocol may have significant implications in the late‐modification of complicated drug molecules. In addition, we also used CV and DFT calculations to study the mechanism, which showed that the arene radical cation played an important role in accelerating the C−H amination process.

In this study, we broke through the directing function of the amide group. The coordination interaction between metal and directing-group enhanced the reactivity of the substrate. Using this strategy, we realized the selective amination of 8-aminoquinolines at the C5 position via employing azoles as the source of amine. Various kinds of 8-aminoquinolines and different substituted azoles were compatible to afford the corresponding C–N coupling products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
