Fig. 2: Scope of acyclic amine-derived ureas in site-selective C(sp3)–H arylation.

Reaction conditions: urea (0.2 mmol), 4-DPAIPN (2 mol%), iPr3SiSH (30 mol%), and Na2CO3 (2.5 equiv.) in CH3CN (0.1 M) at room temperature for 24 h under 450 nm blue LED light irradiation. Site-selectivity were recorded by 1H NMR spectroscopy analysis. Isolated yields. If not specified, the products are obtained with >99:1 site-selective ratios.
