abstract
The N-activating substituents typically encountered in C-H amination chemistry are challenging to remove and have limited scope for synthetic elaboration. Here, we demonstrate that N-benzylaminopyridinium species provide a platform for synthetic elaboration via reductive N-N bond activation to unveil electrophilic N-centered radicals. These reactive intermediates can be trapped either via anti-Markovnikov olefin carboamination to provide access to tetrahydroisoquinolines or via aza-Rubottom chemistry with silyl enol ethers to provide -amino ketones.
