Abstract:

A visible light induced desulfonylative cyclization cascade of N-sulfonylmethacrylamides toward perfluoroalkylated oxindoles and α-arylamides was developed. Under light-emitting diode(LED) irradiation, in the presence of fac-tris-2-phenylpyridine iridium(Ⅲ)(fac-Ir(ppy)3) and perfluoroalkyl iodides or bromides, N-butyl-N-(tolylsulfonyl)methacrylamides underwent tandem radical addition/β-arylmigration/desulfonylation to construct two-fold of C—C bonds in single step, leading to a series of perfluoroalkylated oxindoles and α-aryl-β-perfluoroalkyl amide in 41%~78% yield. This mild catalytic protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope and therefore, provides a green and efficient approach to fluorinated oxindoles with potential biological activities.
