title: Synthesis of indoles and tryptophan derivatives via photoinduced nitrene C-H insertion.
abstract: Functionalized indoles and tryptophans can be obtained from stannylated alkenes and o-iodoanilines via Stille coupling. Subsequent azidation and photochemical nitrene generation results in the formation of the heterocyclic ring systems via C-H insertion.
