title: Visible-Light-Catalyzed Direct Benzylic C(sp(3))-H Amination Reaction by Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling.
abstract: A conceptually new and synthetically valuable cross-dehydrogenative benzylic C(sp(3))-H amination reaction is reported by visible-light photoredox catalysis. This protocol employs DCA (9,10-dicyanoanthracene) as a visible-light-absorbing photoredox catalyst and an amide as the nitrogen source without the need of either a transition metal or an external oxidant.
