The photolysis of N-aryltriazoles and N-arylbenzotriazoles leads to indoles and carbazoles, respectively. Because libraries of triazoles can be accessed rapidly, for example by the copper-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between alkynes and azides, this reaction allows the preparation of indoles in a single operation, by the simultaneous photolysis of the precursor library. As an example of such a synthesis of carbazoles, we prepared for the first time clausenawalline D, an antimalarial alkaloid that was recently isolated.
Lewis base catalyzed aerobic oxidative intermolecular azide-zwitterion cycloaddition

The discovery of a novel aerobic oxidative intermolecular azide-zwitterion reaction catalyzed by an organocatalyst is presented. It is demonstrated that the merger of the Lewis base 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene and electrondeficient olefins generates reactive zwitterion intermediates, which readily participate in cycloaddition reactions with an array of azides, thus providing facile entry to fully or highly substituted 1,2,3-triazole frameworks. The reaction features an excellent substrate scope, and the products are obtained with high yields and excellent regioselectivities. It is demonstrated that some of these products can be transformed into pharmaceutically important agents. In addition to the experimental results, a detailed mechanistic survey is also provided, including MS studies rationalizing the origin of regioselective control.
