Abstract
The In(OTf)3-promoted three-component photoredox alkylarylation of styrenes with alkyl NHP esters and arenes to access alkylated arene derivatives through C-C bond cleavage and C-H functionalization is reported. By utilizing visible-light photoredox catalysis, alkyl N-hydroxyphthalimide esters serving as alkyl carbon-centered radicals and a wide range of arenes (e.g., indoles, pyrrole, and electron-rich arenes) as nucleophiles were used to enable the introduction of various alkyl groups and aryl groups across the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds with excellent selectivity and functional group tolerance.
