## Abstract

Recent progress in N-centered radical
chemistry
has paved the way for unprecedented transformations in organic synthesis,
particularly through photocatalytic C–N bond formation reactions.
Here, unexplored N-oxazolidinone radicals are generated
through visible light irradiation, enabling a novel, efficient, sustainable,
and scalable C–H functionalization process of arenes and heteroarenes.
Crucially, the use of continuous flow processing was found to provide
further advantages over standard batch conditions, which will enable
further applications of this important transformation.
