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 new Pd‐catalyzed carbonylation of indoles for the synthesis of indol‐3‐yl arylketones under CO‐free conditions was developed. The reaction showed a broad substrate scope with moderate to excellent yields.
Synthesis of carbonylated heteroaromatic compounds via visible-light-driven intramolecular decarboxylative cyclization of o-alkynylated carboxylic acids
An efficient strategy for the easy access to carbonylated heteroaromatic compounds has been developed via a visible-light-promoted intramolecular decarboxylative cyclization reaction of o-alkynylated carboxylic acids. This method is characterized by its benign conditions and the tolerance to a wide range of functionalities.

A novel and simple strategy for the visible light-induced efficient synthesis of indol-3-yl aryl ketones from readily available arylsulfonyl chlorides and indoles with CO at room temperature was developed. This metal-free protocol has good functional group tolerance and avoids the use of transition-metal catalysts, additives, and alkaline or acidic reaction medium.
