While proving that a vast library of aromatic aldehydes can be trapped with pyrazoles under a formal 2electron oxidation regime, other nitrogen-containing five-membered rings, imidazoles, amines, and other nucleophiles could not be utilized under the current electrophotocatalytic conditions due to their sensitivity to hydrolysis or oxidation (Scheme S13). In most of these cases, the N-nucleophile e.g. an imidazole, would act as a carbonyl-activating agent rendering the aldehyde core highly electrophilic and subsequently, prone to decomposition. However, the pyrazole-coupled products could act themselves as activating agents, and be efficiently converted to the corresponding amides by reacting them with a series of amines. Thus, at the end of the reaction between benzaldehyde (1k) and pyrazole (2a), without isolation of the acyl pyrazole intermediate, the pH was neutralized with Et3N (10 equiv), 0.2 mmol of the corresponding amine was added, and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 1 hour. Efficient amide synthesis was achieved with both linear (23-24, 80-96%) and cyclic primary amines (25-28, 29-80%), while secondary amines yielded excellent results as well (29-31, 73-91%).
