Abstract

The development of a visible-light-mediated oxidative cleavage of electron-deficient indoles is reported. Methylene blue serves as an effective catalyst and the transformation shows a broad substrate scope. A variety of functional groups are well accommodated in the mild reaction conditions. The photo-mediated single electron transfer and oxidative cleavage mechanisms were investigated via density functional theory and Marcus theory calculations.

Key words

methylene blue - visible light - electron-deficient indoles - Witkop–Winterfeldt oxidation - photocatalysis
