Abstract
Presented herein is a novel synthesis of CF3-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole derivatives based on the cascade reactions of N-alkoxycarbamoyl indoles with CF3-ynones. Mechanistically, the formation of a product involves a tandem process initiated by Rh(III)-catalyzed and N-alkoxycarbamoyl group-directed regioselective C2-H alkenylation of the indole scaffold followed by in situ removal of the directing group and intramolecular N-nucleophilic addition/annulation under one set of reaction conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first example in which a N-alkoxycarbamoyl unit initially acts as a directing group for C2-H functionalization of the indole scaffold and is then removed to provide the required reactive NH-moiety for subsequent intramolecular condensation. Moreover, the products thus obtained could be conveniently transformed into structurally and biologically attractive cycloheptenone fused indole derivatives through an acid-promoted cascade transformation. In addition, studies on the activity of selected products against human cancer cell lines demonstrated their potential as lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles are structurally important scaffolds in many natural products and bioactive compounds. Herein, we report a novel synthetic method for pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole derivatives through visible-light-induced cascade dearomatizative cyclization of indoles with external nucleophiles. Moderate yields, good diastereoselectivities, and excellent regioselectivities were generally observed with the resultant indole-fused polycyclic compounds.

Abstract
Due to the lower LUMO energy level at the β-position of α,β-unsaturated-β-trifluoromethyl enone than that of its non-fluorinated counterpart, there is a challenge to activate the sp2 C-H bond of aromatic rings. Herein, we have reported iridium(III)-catalyzed β-trifluoromethyl enone carbonyl-directed regioselective aromatic C(sp2)-H olefination with acrylates under oxidative conditions. Furthermore, coupling with natural product-derived acrylates, scale-up and product diversification have also been performed.

Abstract
A photocatalytic chemodivergent reaction for the selectivity formation of C-S and C-N bonds in a controlled manner was proposed. The reaction medium, either neutral or acidic, is critical to dictate the formation of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones from isothiocyanates and hydrazones. This is a practical protocol to achieve the chemoselectivity under mild and metal-free conditions.
