Abstract
Visible light mediates efficiently the α-arylation of enol acetates by aryl diazonium salts under mild conditions using [Ru(bpy)(3)]Cl(2) as a photoredox catalyst. The broad scope of the reaction toward various diazonium salts and enol acetates was explored. The application of this reaction in the concise synthesis of 2-substituted indoles was demonstrated.
