Identifying Amidyl Radicals for Intermolecular C–H Functionalizations

Recent studies have demonstrated the capabilities of amidyl radicals to facilitate a range of intermolecular functionalizations of unactivated, aliphatic C–H bonds. Relatively little information is known regarding the important structural and electronic features of amidyl and related radicals that impart efficient reactivity. Herein, we evaluate a diverse range of nitrogen-centered radicals in unactivated, aliphatic C–H chlorinations. These...
