A general and mild method for the construction of functionalized 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-amino-carbonyl compounds was achieved, which represents the first example of direct α-arylation of α-amino carbonyl compounds with indoles using the visible light photoredox catalysis strategy.

This method opens a new door for the Kumada cross-coupling reaction, allowing alkenes to be prepared from the reaction of tosylalkanes with Grignard reagents.
