Abstract
Described herein is the development of a general strategy for the silylation of N-heteroaromatics and unsaturated benzamides via the rational designing of an efficient organic photocatalyst. The process features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and the use of readily prepared naphthalimide (NI)-based organic photocatalysts. Notably, both inert trialkylhydrosilanes and arylhydrosilanes are well tolerated with this protocol.
