A visible-light-initiated intermolecular dearomatization cyclization cascade reaction between alkynes and indole-derived bromides has been explored. This transformation exhibits a wide substrate scope and significant functional group tolerance, providing an efficient way to access a variety of spiroindolenines under mild conditions.
