In this work, we report a protocol for the synthesis of an indoloquinolinone skeleton using visible light-induced energy transfer. This method avoids the premodification of substrates and exhibits high yields. For gram-scale reactions, only 0.01 mol % (100 ppm) of photosensitizer is required for rapid conversion. Mechanistic studies revealed that this reaction differs from conventional 6π photocyclization reactions; undergoing a process involving 6π cyclization due to energy transfer and dehydrogenation due to product self-catalysis has been experienced.
