Abstract
Nitrogen-positioned radicals are chemical entities that have a lengthier history than carbon ones and their high reactivity makes them invaluable. But, despite its power, much of its chemistry is still uncharted. Currently, developed methodologies to access nitrogen-positioned radicals, such as transition metal catalysis or visible-light photoredox methods through a single-electron transfer process, avoiding the use of harmful or toxic reagents, excess raw materials, solvents as well as pre-functionalization steps or extensive synthetic routes are in continuous progress. This revision aims to depict the recent advances in the field of iminyl-radicals’ syntheses, a special class of radicals placed on nitrogen, catalyzed by transition metals or photoredox techniques for the construction of C-N bonds and their synthetic applications. This work serves as a comprehensive guide for the scope of synthetic applications that this kind of radicals could have.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
