SYNTHESIS OF INDOLES UNDER THE ACTION OF VISIBLE LIGHT (MICROREVIEW)

Abstract
This microreview considers the use of visible light and photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of a widely used class of compounds – indoles, covering literature sources starting from 2012. The synthetic approaches are categorized according to their catalytic mechanism.
Keywords
