title: Homocoupling of 3-Halooxindole via Visible-Light Photocatalysis: A Mild Access to 3,3'-Bioxindoles.
abstract: This paper introduces a simple way to the homocoupling of tertiary halides induced by photocatalysis. This method features mild reaction conditions, excellent functional group tolerance, high yields, low photocatalyst loading and successful application to the highly sterically hindered systems. On the basis of the reaction results, a novel stable-radical-induced homocoupling reaction mechanism has been proposed.
