An effective metal-free C-H amination of N-Ts-2-alkenylanilines by using DDQ as an oxidant has been developed to afford a diverse range of substituted indoles. This protocol is operationally simple and robust, obviates the need of expensive transition-metal catalysts, and offers a broad substrate scope. A mechanism involving a radical cation generated by SET and a migratorial process via a phenonium ion intermediate is proposed.

A highly efficient method of indole synthesis using gem-dihalovinylaniline substrates and an organoboron reagent was developed via a Pd-catalyzed tandem intramolecularamination and an intermolecular Suzuki coupling. Aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl boron reagents are all successfully employed, making for a versatile modular approach. The reaction tolerates a variety of substitution patterns on the aniline

Synthesis of heterocycles from 1,2-diarylalkene derivatives through electrosynthesis under metal- and oxidant-free conditions has been discovered. Cathodic reduction of 2-alkenylbenzoic acid or anodic oxidation of 2-alkenylbenzamide, 2-alkenylphenol and 2-alkenylaniline leads to the formation of reactive radical intermediates which afford corresponding phthalide, isochroman-1-one, isoindolin-1-one
