Congrats to Jingan Li et al. for the latest publication in Green Chem. We have developed a methodology merging iridium-catalyzed activation of amides with electro-chemical radical generation to access deoxygenative arylation of secondary amides. The successful application of the electrochemical method in the deoxygenative functionalization of amides would provide an efficient strategy for quick access to value-added amines from inert amides.
