Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: No sensitive and hazardous reagents were used. Reaction excludes the involvement of precious metals, additives, ligands and radical initiators. Reaction proceeds without formation of any toxic side products. Developed method utilizes 3-nitropyridine as organocatalyst under aerobic conditions. Potential application for the synthesis of a broad range of compounds in excellent yields.
