Nitrogen centered radicals have played a major role as intermediates in many chemical reactions. Thus, the development of new methods towards their efficient generation under mild reaction conditions and their subsequent manipulation towards selective transformations has bloomed in recent years. Here, we will present various transformations in which N-amidyl, iminyl, aminyl-centered radicals are invoked as intermediates yielding highly functionalized molecules.<sup> </sup>In some of these transformations, the use of photoredox catalysis has proved instrumental towards the development of neutral redox processes resulting in broad reaction scopes and site-selective activations of remote inert bonds.
