ConspectusThe selective functionalization/transformation of ubiquitous pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes is a practical method to synthesize structurally novel N-heterocycles, which important for the development medicines, bioactive agents, agrochemicals, materials, ligands, sensors, pigments, dyes, etc. However, owing thermodynamic stability, kinetic inertness, and lone electron pair–induced catalyst deactivation N-heteroarenes, limited strategies (e.g., C–H activation/functionalization, electrophilic substitution, Minisci reaction) are available realize synthetic purpose maintain aromaticity final products. Moreover, relevant transformations have limitations such as needing harsh reaction conditions, requiring preinstallation specific coupling agents containing transformable functionalities or directing groups, using less environmentally benign oxidants and/or acidic activators, poor selectivity. Herein, considering that imines, enamines, radicals, cyclic amines generated during reduction precise transformation these reductive intermediates offers fundamental basis developing tandem reactions. Our group revealed slow rate, synergistic catalysis, controlled electroreduction effective fulfilling functionalization N-heteroarenes. Thus, we established series new methods provide diverse construction modalities functionalized N-heterocycles. The striking features include high efficiency, atom economy, use readily accessible feedstocks in absence flammable pressurized H2 gas, alongside promising potential obtained N-heterocyclic present study would be appealing fields organic chemistry, biomedical functional materials. This Account describes application dearomatization substrate-activating reaction-initiating modes summarizes via alkylation, arylation, annulation at nitrogen, α, β, other remote carbon sites achieved over past 8 years.
