Synthesis of 3,3-Disubstituted Oxindoles by Visible-Light-Mediated Radical Reactions of Aryl Diazonium Salts with N-Arylacrylamides

Abstract

A mild and efficient visible-light-mediated diarylation of N-arylacrylamides with aryl diazonium salts under mild conditions has been developed. This method provides convenient access to a variety of useful 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles by constructing two C-C bonds in one step.
