Abstract
A base-promoted intermolecular oxidation C-N bond formation of allylic C(sp3)-H and vinylic C(sp2)-H of allyllic compounds with amidines enables the smooth formation of polysubstituted pyrimidines in the presence of O2 as the sole oxidant. This protocol features protecting group free nitrogen sources, good functional group tolerance, high atom economy, and environmental advantages.
