A designed Brønsted acid enables Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles in water, whose hydrophobic aggregations of fluorocarbon chains, along with phenyl ring, protected acid sites from bulk water and enriched the substrates. The amphiphilic structure has been proven crucial for the high catalytic efficiency.

Acyl oximes derived from a variety of indolylalkanones underwent a ring closure sequence during FVP to afford 9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indoles. Unlike UV light promoted reactions of oxime esters, the mechanism is almost certainly not mediated by iminyl radicals but probably involves tautomerism, elimination of acetic acid, and a final electrocyclic ring closure.
