Abstract
The activation of ethyl bromofluoroacetate employing a visible light mediated, Eosin Y catalyzed photoredox transformation is reported. Using indoles and anilines as nucleophiles, the reaction leads to the formation of two C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) bonds resulting in an efficient synthesis of bisindolyl and bisanilinoyl acetate derivatives. Application of this method to the direct synthesis of unsymmetrical diarylacetates featuring indoles and N-substituted anilines was also demonstrated.
