Abstract
An efficient synthesis of benzo[a]carbazoles via visible-light-induced tandem oxidation/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/oxidative aromatization reactions was reported. The benzylic C(sp3)-H of tetrahydronaphthalene was activated through visible-light photoredox catalyst with oxygen as the clean oxidant under mild reaction conditions. This protocol proceeds efficiently with broad substrate scope, and the mechanism study was performed.
