N-Alkylamines, amides, and sulfonamides, a class of important nitrogen-containing structural units, are ubiquitous in pharmaceutical molecules, agrochemicals, and functional materials. To this end, the efficient and precise synthesis of such substructures is of great significance for molecular design and late-stage modification. Among various synthetic approaches, C—N bond formation represents one of the key strategies. However, traditional C—N bond formation strategies heavily rely on pre-functionalized substrates under strong oxidative/reductive conditions, or elevated reaction temperature, which often suffer from over-alkylation, competitive side reactions, poor regio- and chemoselectivity, limited compatibility with molecular complexity. Over past years, visible-light-driven hydroamination, hydroamidation, and hydrosulfonamidation of alkenes have achieved efficient synthesis of N-alkylamines, amides, and sulfonamides by direct cross-coupling of simple alkenes with various nitrogen sources under mild conditions through different reaction mechanisms such as single-electron transfer, proton-coupled electron transfer, and hydrogen atom transfer. These reactions utilize alkenes as alkylation reagents, demonstrating excellent step-economy and functional group compatibility. This review summarizes the progress and key reaction pathways in the field of visible-light-catalyzed hydroamination, hydroamidation, and hydrosulfonamidation of alkenes, with an emphasis on selectivity control and scope of different catalytic systems, and provides an outlook on future developments in this area, aiming to offer theoretical and practical guidance for further development and application to target synthesis in related areas.
