The use of lithium bis-catechol borate (LiB(cat)2) as a reductive quencher for the photoredox mediated intermolecular C–H functionalization of various heteroaromatics with bromopyrroloindolines is described. LiB(cat)2 offers a financial benefit over state-of-the-art quenchers currently in use while eliminating the side reactions that typically plague these couplings. The advantage of this methodology is highlighted by the synthesis of C3–C2’ (?) gliocladin C. Furthermore, additional examples of reactivity with various bromopyrroloindolines sets the stage for expedient routes towards other pharmaceutically active hexahydropyrroloindoline alkaloids and their analogues.

Lighting the way: In a 10-step total synthesis of the title compound, visible-light photoredox catalysis enabled the construction of the key bond by facilitating the direct coupling of a pyrroloindoline-derived radical with a substituted indole (see schem
