Synthesis of oxindoles through trifluoromethylation of N-aryl acrylamides by photoredox catalysis

Abstract

Mild and direct intramolecular oxidative aryltrifluoromethylations of activated alkenes have been established through visible light photocatalysis, affording a range of CF3-containing oxindoles or isoquinolinediones in the presence of an organic fluorophore-type photocatalyst 4CzIPN, oxygen and visible light irradiation under strong oxidant and transition metal free conditions. A variety of frequently encountered functional groups are well tolerated in this transformation.
