A range of styrenes and benzaldehydes were smoothly combined to form α,β-epoxy ketones under the synergistic actions of photocatalyst Ru(bpy)3Cl2, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), and visible light irradiation. The process likely proceeds through visible-light-enabled photocatalytic generations of acyl radicals as key intermediates.

Indium(III) chloride catalyzes regioselective ring opening of chalcone epoxides with nitrogen heterocycles such as indole, 2-methyl indole, and pyrrole under mild conditions at room temperature to afford 1,3-diaryl-2-hydroxy-3-(1H- 3-indolyl/2-pyrrolyl)propan-1-ones in good yields (60-88%) within 20-50 min.
