Chlorophyll is the most abundant photocatalytic pigment that enables plants to absorb solar energy and convert it to energy storage molecules. Herein, we report a tandem photocatalytic approach utilizing the natural pigment chlorophyll in crude form to achieve photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and energy transfer (EnT) towards the oxidative functionalization of indoles. Redox potentials, ESR, fluorescence quenching and UV experiments have evidenced the dual catalytic activity of chlorophyll. The highlight of the study is the auto-tandem photocatalytic role of chlorophyll to enable the green oxidation of indoles using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, water as the reaction medium, and photochemical energy from the visible region of the spectrum.

Described herein is an unusual Cp*CyRh(III)-catalyzed intramolecular site-specific aryl C-H annulation, a highly chemoselective protocol providing direct access to eight-membered sultams/lactams with broad substrate/functional group tolerance. Experimental and computational studies reveal that such a transformation involves a unique PivOH-assisted aryl C-H activation/alkene insertion/β-H elimination/hydrogen-transfer process involving the Rh(III)-hydride species as the active intermediate with the concomitant release of H2 as the major byproduct, thus enabling the developed Cp*CyRh(III) catalysis with redox-neutral and highly atom-economical features.
