In the last few decades, the development in the field of radical chemistry has gained great attention. The majority of these radical strategies mainly depend on the in situ generation of reactive radical species by employing radical initiators such as oxidants and metal salts or methods such as photocatalysis and electrochemistry etc. This review covers the literature on the generation of imidoyl radicals using photoredox catalysis. In the majority of the reactions, the spontaneity of the underlying SET transitions is correlated by the compiled redox potential data of the reacting species for a better understanding of the readers. Besides, the applications of these reactive imidoyl radicals to access a variety of heterocycles such as benzothiazoles, indoles, quinoxalines, phenanthridines, isoquinolines, pyridines, and amides are also addressed.

亚胺基自由基的光催化和光化学生成：合成应用

在过去的几十年中，自由基化学领域的发展备受关注。这些激进策略中的大多数主要取决于原地通过使用自由基引发剂（例如氧化剂和金属盐）或方法（例如光催化和电化学方法等）来生成反应性自由基物种。本篇综述涵盖了使用光氧化还原催化生成亚胺基的文献。在大多数反应中，基础SET过渡的自发性与反应物种的已编译氧化还原电势数据相关，以使读者更好地理解。此外，还讨论了这些反应性亚氨基的基团用于接入各种杂环的应用，例如苯并噻唑，吲哚，喹喔啉，菲啶，异喹啉，吡啶和酰胺。
