Electrophotoredox Cerium-catalyzed Decarboxylative Radical Cyclization Cascade for the Synthesis of Alkylated Benzimidazo-fused Isoquinolinones

We report here an electrophotoredox cerium-catalyzed ligand-to-metal-charge-transfer (LMCT) strategy to incorporate a broad range of primary, secondary and tertiary carboxylic acids into radical cyclization cascades under external oxidant-free conditions. This...
