Title : Visible Light Triggered beta-Allylation of Indoles Using Baylis- Hillman Bromides
Abstract:
A facile regioselective β-allylation of indoles has been accomplished employing Baylis-Hillman bromides as allyl source under visible light photoredox catalysis in the presence of Ru(bpy)3Cl2.6H2O and blue LED.
Audiences take-away:
• Use of photoredox catalysis to functionalize Baylis-Hillman adduct.
• Application of photocatalysis to replace halogens fron arenes and alkyl halides.
