Photoredox-catalyzed cross-coupling of N-indolylacetic acids with nitrones: Access to indole-N-ethylamines.

[Display omitted] Herein, we report a photoredox-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of N -indolylacetic acids with nitrones to generate indole- N -ethylamines under mild reaction conditions. This reaction has the characteristics of simple operation, mild conditions, easy to obtain biologically relevant indole- N -ethylamines structural motifs not readily accessible by other methods.
