Abstract
A visible-light-promoted C-H alkylation of nitrogen-containing heteroarenes with C4-alkyl 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) as radical precursors enables an efficient late-stage functionalization at ambient temperatures. A broad scope of heteroarenes, including those bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups, can be successfully alkylated in good yields.
