for the cross-coupling reaction (9r). 2-Naphthol yielded the
desired product 9s in 73% yield. Finally, the cross-coupling of
2-phenylindole and phenoxazine was successfully performed.
However, synthesis of 9t worked superior if NOBF4 was used
as catalyst. The underlying mechanism for the aerobic C–H
bond amination proceeds analogously as described before via
direct radical–radical recombination under aerobic conditions
(Scheme S8, ESI†).

In summary, we have reported the first application of NOx
as efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst for carbon–
heteroatom bond formation. The operationally simple and
sustainable protocol enables the C–H/S–H and C–H/N–H CDC.
Ambient oxygen serves as stoichiometric oxidant and water is
generated as by-product. A broad scope was demonstrated in
good yields and regioselectivities. The reported methodology
offers mild reaction conditions and does not require an excess
of reagents or any specialized equipment.
