A Visible-Light-Promoted C–H Insertion Reaction of Diazoamides with 1,3-Diketones

Abstract

A visible light-promoted C-H insertion between diazoamides and 1,3-diketones leads to the corresponding 3-substituted-2-oxindoles in good yield. A subsequent reaction of the resulting product with hydrazine hydrate, followed by alkylation, provided biologically active 3-pyrazol-4-yl-indole derivatives in good to excellent yield, which can be easily scaled up to gram scale.
