Abstract
A metal-free method for a direct anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unsaturated amines is enabled by irradiation of the amine substrates with visible light in the presence of catalytic quantities of easily synthesized 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium tetrafluoroborate and thiophenol as a hydrogen-atom donor. The reaction furnished nitrogen-containing heterocycles with complete regiocontrol.
