Implication

Experimental findings demonstrate C-N bond formation in unprotected amines using photoactive iminobismuthanes, suggesting new opportunities beyond transition-metal systems.

Key Points

This research aims to explore the catalytic activity of photoactive iminobismuthanes in C–H amination reactions.
Utilization of light irradiation on iminobismuthanes to facilitate reactions
Observation of ligand-to-ligand charge transfer processes
Investigation of C-H bond abstraction and C-N bond formation
Demonstrated catalytic activity of iminobismuthanes resembling that of transition-metal systems
Achieved azidation of unprotected secondary amines
Revealed that main-group imidos are functionally active species rather than just precursors.
