title: Aerobic C-H amination of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives via photochemically generated hydroperoxides.
abstract: A Brønsted acid catalyzed C-H functionalization via Intermediate PeroxideS (CHIPS), generated photochemically, allows the oxidative coupling of indole derivatives with a variety of nitrogen nucleophiles. The reaction can be performed in one pot and requires only visible light, elemental oxygen, a Brønsted acid and a photosensitizer. The method can be applied to an efficient synthesis of some biologically active compounds.
