38. Current methods for the generation of carbon-centered radicals via the cleavage of C−N bonds are mostly limited to the single-electron reduction of aryl diazonium salts. For examples, see:

56. We believe that the use of visible-light sources minimizes absorption by the substrates and allows a mild reaction protocol with a broad functional group tolerance (for absorption spectra of the catalysts see the Supporting Information).

65. Minimal reaction was observed when the amino acid derived Katritzky salts were reacted with isoquinoline, presumably due to the incompatibility of electrophilic radicals with electron-deficient heteroarenes. For details, see:
