An efficient and general method for the C-H alkylation of heteroarenes using unprotected amino acids as stable alkyl radical precursors is reported. This one-pot procedure is performed open to air under aqueous conditions and is effective for several natural and unnatural amino acids. Heterocycles of varying structure are suitably functionalized, and reactivity trends reflect the nucleophilic character of the radical species generated.

A new process for the homolytic acylation of protonated heteroaromatic bases is described; an N-oxyl radical (PINO) generated from N-hydroxyphthalimide by air oxygen and Co(II) abstracts a hydrogen atom from an aldehyde. The resulting nucleophilic acyl radical adds to a heteroaromatic base, which is then rearomatised in a chain process. Quinazoline has an anomalous behaviour, giving 3H-quinazolin-4-one as the only reaction product.
