“…The development of these easily available and stable amidyl radical precursors in conjunction with the recent advent of metal and visible-light photoredox catalysts allowed the execution of the HLF reaction under much milder conditions, therefore providing opportunities to expand the repertoire of the remote C( sp 3 )–H functionalization process. Indeed, besides the cyclization to N -heterocycles 9–11,26–32 , halogenation 22,23,33–36 and C–S bond formation 21 that are inherent to the classic radical chain mechanism of the HLF reaction, C–C bond formation via radical addition 16–18,37–39 , azidation/cyanation 19,20,22 , acetoxylation 40 , thiolation/alkynylation 20,22 , and arylation 24,25 have been developed very recently.…”
