Abstract
Indole and quinoline structures are present in numerous biologically active molecules, making the synthesis of their glycosylation products a subject of extensive research and interest in drug development. Here, we report a photoredox strategy for the synthesis of C-indolyl and C-quinolyl glycosides using 2-styrylisocyanides and glycosyl bromides as building blocks. This approach offers mild reaction conditions, high α-selectivity, and scalability for large-scale reactions. The radical cyclization mode switching from 5-exo-trig to 6-endo-trig is achieved by selecting the substituents on the 2-vinyl group. This strategy enriches the toolbox of heterocyclic glycosylation methods and benefits advances in research on heteroaryl-based pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Indole motifs are important heterocycles found in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and materials. Although there are well-established classical name reactions for indole synthesis, these transformations often require harsh reaction conditions, have a limited substrate scope, and exhibit poor regioselectivity. As a result, organic synthesis chemists have been exploring efficient and practical methods, leading to numerous strategies for synthesizing a variety of functionalized indoles. In recent years, electrochemistry has emerged as an environmentally friendly and sustainable synthetic tool, with widespread applications in organic synthesis. This technology allows for elegant synthetic routes to be developed for the construction of indoles under external oxidant-free conditions. This feature article specifically focuses on recent advancements in indole synthesis from non-indole-based substrates, as well as the mechanisms underlying these transformations.

Abstract
Ultrasmall copper nanoclusters have recently emerged as promising photocatalysts for organic synthesis, owing to their exceptional light absorption ability and large surface areas for efficient interactions with substrates. Despite significant advances in cluster-based visible-light photocatalysis, the types of organic transformations that copper nanoclusters can catalyze remain limited to date. Herein, we report a structurally well-defined anionic Cu40 nanocluster that emits in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) after photoexcitation and can conduct single-electron transfer with fluoroalkyl iodides without the need for external ligand activation. This photoredox-active copper nanocluster efficiently catalyzes the three-component radical couplings of alkenes, fluoroalkyl iodides, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under blue-LED irradiation at room temperature. A variety of fluorine-containing electrophiles and a cyanide nucleophile can be added onto an array of alkenes, including styrenes and aliphatic olefins. Our current work demonstrates the viability of using readily accessible metal nanoclusters to establish photocatalytic systems with a high degree of practicality and reaction complexity.

Abstract
A new method for the generation of benzyl radicals from terminal aromatic alkynes has been developed, which allows the direct cross coupling with acrylate derivatives. Our additive-free protocol employs air-stable diamino Mo3S4 cubane-type cluster catalysts in the presence of hydrogen. A sulfur-centered cluster catalysis mechanism for benzyl radical formation is proposed based on catalytic and stoichiometric experiments. The process starts with the cluster hydrogen activation to form a bis(hydrosulfido) [Mo3(μ3-S)(μ-S)(μ-SH)2Cl3(dmen)3]+ intermediate. The reaction of various aromatic terminal alkynes containing different functionalities with a series of acrylates affords the corresponding Giese-type radical addition products.

Abstract
A visible-light-induced cycloaddition between 2-alkenylarylisocyanides and cyclopropylanilines is reported. This cascade radical reaction constructs two new C-C bonds and two rings to afford 3-aminotetrahydro-1H-carbazols with high atom and step economy. The mechanism is rationalized as involving sequential distonic radical cation formation/isocyanide insertion/5-exo-trig cyclization/intramolecular iminium ion addition/tautomerization.

Abstract
The β-amino nitrile moiety and its derivatives frequently appear in natural product synthesis, in drug design, and as ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we describe a direct route to these complex motifs through the amino- and oxycyanation of olefins utilizing an acridinium photooxidant in conjunction with copper catalysis. The transformation can be rendered asymmetric by using a serine-derived bisoxazoline ligand. Mechanistic studies implicate olefin-first oxidation. The scope of amines for the aminocyanation reaction has been greatly expanded by undergoing a cation radical intermediate as opposed to previous N-centered radical-initiated aminocyanations. Furthermore, alkyl carboxylic acids were included as nucleophiles in this type of transformation for the first time without any decarboxylative side reactions.

Abstract
We have developed a transition-metal-free radical approach for 1,2-alkynyl functionalization of unactivated alkenes through the combination of 3-exo-dig cyclization with alkynyl migration triggered by in situ-generated diverse radical precursors. This strategy provides a robust toolkit to access a variety of synthetically important α-functionalized alkynyl ketones, simultaneously installing densely functionalized carbonyl, alkynyl, and other various functional groups into the alkenes. The broad substrate scope, which includes distinctly electron-donating or electron-withdrawing alkynyl migrating groups, excellent functional group compatibility, and remarkable selectivity make this protocol practical and attractive.
