Reported herein is an effective strategy for oxidative cross-coupling of indoles with various aldehydes. The strategy is based on a two-step transformation via a well-known Mannich-type reaction and a C–N bond cleavage for carbonyl introduction. The key step—the C–N bond cleavage of the Mannich product—was enabled by electrochemistry. This strategy (with over 40 examples) ensures excellent functional-group

A visible-light-catalyzed synthesis of 3-acylindoles from simple indoles and α-oxo acids at room temperature has been discovered. This method offers rapid access to 3-acylindoles through C–C and C–H bond activation.
A novel palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of indoles with CO and aromatic boronic acids for the synthesis of indol-3-yl aryl ketones was developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and gives a variety of valuable indol-3-yl aryl ketones in high yields under mild conditions.

Abstract A visible-light-catalyzed synthesis of indol-3-yl arylketones from aryldiazonium salts, CO and indoles at room temperature was developed. This process provides a useful method for the preparation of diverse indol-3-yl arylketones from readily accessible reactants under base-free, acid-free and transition-metal-free conditions.
