In this work, a photocatalytic strategy for a rapid and modular access to polycyclic indolones
starting from readily available indoles is reported. This strategy relies on the use of redox …

A tin-free method for the synthesis of substituted indolines has been developed generating
vinyl radicals by visible-light-promoted photocatalysis in a reductive quenching cycle. This …

A versatile photochemical ring-expansion protocol for the synthesis of oxacyclic
spirooxindoles under catalyst-free conditions is described. The reaction is enabled by the …

A simple transition metal-free strategy for the synthesis of pyrido [1, 2-a] indolone derivatives
has been devised through sodium methoxide-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 2 …

We describe a photocatalyzed transformation for the synthesis of the indolo [2, 1-a]
isoquinoline core structure. This redox neutral reaction features mild reaction conditions and …

A facile approach toward 3-(o-aminophenyl) pyrroles was developed by remodeling of N-
sulfonyl-3-acyl indoles with N-phenylglycines under photoredox catalysis. This strategy …

The synthesis of versatile scaffold indolopyrans based on C–C radical–radical cross-
coupling under metal-free conditions is described. The reaction involving single electron …

An intramolecular dearomatization of indole derivatives based on visible-light-promoted [2+
2] cycloaddition was achieved via energy transfer mechanism. The highly strained …

We report an easy multicomponent synthesis of polycyclic isoindoles from cyclic 1, 3-
dicarbonyls, aldehydes, isocyanides, and maleimides. The key step consists of the one-pot …

A visible-light-induced synthesis of 3-acylindoles from simple indoles and α-oxo acids at
room temperature has been discovered. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional …
