摘要
An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidant-, metal-and light-free iminyl radical generation pathway stemming from the reaction of vinyl azide and alpha-bromo ester is uncovered. This newly developed methodology is successfully applied to the redox-neutral construction of a number of diversified phenan-thridine derivatives with nice functional group compatibility. Insights from the mechanism study reveal that this NHC-catalyzed transformation potentially proceeds through an alkyl radical addition-initiated HAS process, with the iminyl radical as an active intermediate <comment>Superscript/Subscript Available</comment
