An efficient oxidative cross-coupling reaction between C-H and N-H Bonds; a transition-metal-free protocol at room temperature

A transition-metal-free oxidative coupling of allylic C-H and heterocyclic/aromatic N-H bonds was performed under mild conditions. Promoted by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), up to 99% yield could be achieved.Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technolog
