Photocatalytic addition of N‑Oxazolidinone radicals to arenes and heteroarenes in batch and in flow mode

Recent progress in N-centered radical chemistry has paved the way for unprecedented transformations in organic synthesis, particularly through photocatalytic C−N bond formation reactions. Here, unexplored N-oxazolidinone radicals are generated through visible light irradiation, enabling a novel, efficient, sustainable, and scalable C−H functionalization process of arenes and heteroarenes. Crucially, the use of continuous flow processing was found to provide further advantages over standard batch conditions, which will enable further applications of this important transformation.
