Regioselective intramolecular Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization of alkenes via photoredox catalysis.

Highly regioselective Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization of alkenes was successfully realized via photoredox catalysis by introducing a urea group and fine tuning the hydrogen atom transfer catalysts. The anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of alkenes was also achieved with high yields and stereoselectivities in this work.
