Abstract

CuI-catalyzed reactions of N-alkylamidoximes afforded dihydroimidazoles via sp3 C-H amination. On the other hand, the reactions of N-benzoylamidoximes resulted in sp2 C-H amination to form quinazolinones. The reaction mechanisms could be characterized as a redox-neutral radical pathway including a Cu(i)-Cu(ii) redox catalytic cycle.
