Herein, we demonstrated the oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling between amidines and chalcones catalyzed by flavin and iodine. The riboflavin-iodine catalytic system played multiple roles in substrate- and O₂-activation, enabling the facile and atom-economical synthesis of tetra-substituted imidazoles in good yields (60–87%). This metal-free reaction consumed only 1 equiv of molecular oxygen and generated 2 equiv of environmentally benign H₂O as the only byproduct.
