This review covers the recent literature on oxidative generation of N-centered radicals using photoredox catalysis. The concept of proton-coupled electron transfer is briefly discussed. Applications of such reactive N-centered radicals in cascade processes comprising arene amidation, alkene amidation, C—C bond cleavage reactions, and remote C—H functionalization are addressed. In addition, novel reagents allowing for clean oxidative N-radical generation are discussed.

The pathway from N2to NH3at low-coordinate iron complexes is shown through crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization of intermediates, including bridging nitride, imide, and amides. Proton-coupled electron transfer plays a key role in the transformations.

We report a light-driven, catalytic protocol for the intramolecular hydroetherification of unactivated alkenols to furnish cyclic ether products. These reactions occur under visible light irradiation in the presence of an Ir(III)-based photosensitizer, a Brønsted base catalyst, and a hydrogen atom transfer co-catalyst. Reactive alkoxy radicals are proposed as key intermediates that are generated by direct homolytic activation of alcohol O–H bonds through a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, and it accommodates a diverse range of alkene substitution patterns. Results demonstrating the extension of this catalytic system to carboetherification reactions are also presented.
