52. The treatment of 3a with sodium hydride gave the N?O bond cleavage product in 85% yield. For details, see the SI.
53. We studied the effect of the nitrogen substituents by DFT calculations. The change of the OMe group to Ph and Me groups increases the C-H amination barrier from 19.2 kcal/mol (Figure 1a) to 24.7 and 44.3 kcal/mol, respectively. For details, see the SI.
54. Substrates with secondary and primary C-H bonds and substrates with aliphatic tethers are unsuccessful. For details, see the SI.
55. The computed activation free energies for the secondary (2-ethyl-N-methoxybenzamide) and primary (2-methyl-N-methoxybenzamide) C-H aminations are 22.4 and 28.5 kcal/mol, much higher than that for the tertiary one (19.2 kcal/mol, Figure 1a). For details, see the SI.
56. For substrate 1u, the computed activation free energy for the aromatic C-H amination is 1.9 kcal/mol lower than that for the secondary C-H amination. For details, see the SI.
57. For the discussion of the radical mechanism, see the SI.

68. Under "DFT-computed conditions" [PhI(OAc)2 as oxidant and TFE as solvent], the transformation of (S)-1m to (R)-3m also occurs with complete stereochemical fidelity. For details, see the SI.
