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.

We have developed a mild procedure for the oxidative cleavage of indole carbon double bonds using plant cell cultures as a catalytic system in the presence of H2O2. We have developed a novel procedure for the oxidative cleavage of indole carbon double bonds in the presence of H 2O2 using plant cell cultures as a catalytic system. The oxidative procedure has some advantages, such as mild reactions, good yields, easy work-up and safety.
