Diels-Alder reaction between indoles and cyclohexadienes photocatalyzed by pi,pi aromatic ketones.
[structure: see text] Diels-Alder reactions between indoles and cyclohexadienes can be photocatalyzed by benzoylthiophenes. Both experimental and theoretical studies show that the reactions occur through ternary excited triplet state complexes (triplet triplexes).
