Abstract
Single electron reduction of the Caryl−F bond is quite challenging due to its high reduction potential. Herein, we report an arenethiolate-catalyzed single electron reduction of the Caryl−F bond to access oxindoles. A variety of oxindoles are provided in moderate to excellent yields through a single electron reduction/cyclization/single electron oxidation process. Furthermore, the 1,5-HAT of inert C−H could be achieved with this method. A plausible pathway with the arenethiolate as a SET catalyst is proposed on the basis of mechanistic studies.
