Regioselective Aminomethylation and Benzylation of N -Heterocycles via Controllable Cleavage of Triazinanes under Ambient Conditions

A site-selective reaction for the aminomethylation of imidazoheterocycles is developed using photoredox catalysis under mild conditions. A complementary metal free HFIP promoted reaction is also developed which gives corresponding anilines in good yields. Metal free conditions, s...
