Abstract

A visible-light promoted cyclization reaction of 3-alkenyl indole derivatives with arylsulfonyl chlorides as coupling partners has been developed, which afforded functionalized tetrahydro-γ-carbolines in good chemical yields. The reaction used 3-alkenyl indoles as radical acceptors and proceeded via the sequence of sulfonylation and intramolecular cyclization. The reaction was carried out under mild conditions and tolerated a wide range of substrates, which provides an efficient strategy for the synthesis of tetrahydro-γ-carboline derivatives.
