Abstract

In a nickel/photoredox catalyzed synthesis of indolines from iodoacetanilides and alkenes, very high regioselectivity for 3-substituted indoline products is obtained for both aliphatic and styrenyl olefins. This process demonstrates the utility of photoredox catalysts as controlled single electron transfer agents in multioxidation state nickel catalysis.
