Easy Access to Functionalized Indolines and Tetrahydroquinolines via a Photochemical Cascade Cyclization Reaction

Herein, the development of a light-mediated synthesis of functionalized indolines and tetrahydroquinolines is reported. These structural motifs are considered as highly valuable targets, attributed to their widespread occurrence in pharmaceuticals and natural products. The gold-mediated approach offers a direct route to functionalized indolines in yields of up to 81% under mild photochemical conditions. Thereby, easily accessible Boc-protected
