Article Abstract

A photoredox-neutral radical-radical cross-coupling is described for the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-alkyloxindoles using isatins and benzyl carboxylic acids as substrates and 2,4,5,6-tetra(-carbazol-9-yl)isophthalonitrile (4CzIPN) as the photocatalyst. The method features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, providing 30 sterically hindered alcohols with moderate to excellent yields. This approach utilizes inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, avoiding the use of transition metals, extra oxidants/reductants, and harsh reaction conditions, showcasing significant applicability and environmental friendliness.

Visible-light photoredox catalysis has been esteemed as one sustainable and attractive synthetic tool. In the past four years, a new yet challenging trend, visible-light-driven redox-neutral radical C-C cross-coupling involving putative radical intermediates, has been booming rapidly. Its advent brings a powerful platform to achieve non-classical C-C connections, and should lead to fundamental changes in retrosynthetic analysis.
