A visible light-induced photocatalytic system was developed to enable intramolecular hydroarylation of N-arylacrylamides with high 5-exo-trig selectivity through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). This mild protocol provides a straightforward entry to structurally valuable oxindoles and complements previously established 6-endo-trig cyclization by photochemical triplet energy transfer (TET).
Hydroarylation of alkenes has been demonstrated to be an atom-economic approach to access functionalized arenes from easily accessible raw materials. Herein, we report a visible light-induced photocatalytic system that enables intramolecular hydroarylation of N-arylacrylamides with high 5-exo-trig selectivity through robust proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). This mild hydroarylation protocol provides a straightforward entry to structurally valuable oxindoles and complements previously established 6-endo-trig cyclization by photochemical triplet energy transfer (TET).
