halogen bonding (XB) for the generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides under blue light irradiation and applied it in radical generation/1,5-hydrogen-atom transfer/radical cyclization cascade reactions for the synthesis of oxindoles and isoindolinones. On the basis of experimental studies, we propose that DBU can serve as a suitable XB acceptor with aryl halides for the formation of a photoactive

The Pd-catalyzed intramolecular alpha-arylation of amides is applied to the synthesis of functionalized spirooxindoles. The substrate scope is evaluated, and the reaction is demonstrated to be useful for the assembly of spirooxindole natural products and derivatives thereof. As an application, a new synthesis of horsfiline 1 is presented, giving the natural product in only 4 steps from commercially available amino acid 12.

A superior, mild, high-yielding one-pot process for rapid access to oxo anilides has been developed that involves three cascade reactions: iodine-magnesium exchange, regiospecific ortho N-Fries rearrangement, and in situ trapping of the formed aniline anion. Coupled with McMurry cyclization, the two-step process allows ready synthesis of strained 1,2,3-trisubstituted indoles regioselectively.
