Abstract
A photocatalytic annulation cascade of unactivated N-alkene-linked indoles with Langlois' reagent by a radical relay is developed at room temperature under blue LED irradiation. The reaction afforded a series of tri/difluoromethylated pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles in moderate to good yields. The DFT study suggests that the reaction is ascribed to a rhodamine 6G-induced cyclization cascade involving vinyl addition-radical relay and hydrogen-atom-abstraction (HAA) processes, and interestingly, pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles are applied as fluorescent dyes into the fluorescence spectrum and live-cell imaging. This paper represents an initial example on photocatalytic cyclization cascades by radical relay and the HAA process.

Abstract
Herein, we found that treating N-substituted pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes with arylalkenes in DMF in N2 at 120 °C could afford pyrrolidine scaffolds with an up to 85% yield. This approach has several remarkable features, such as atom and step economy, readily accessible raw materials, and easy-to-operate manner, providing a simple and efficient method for constructing complicated bicyclic pyrroles. Additionally, we have successfully synthesized 28 target compounds, which further demonstrates its practicality and wide applicability.

Abstract
Herein, we present the first highly regio- and chemoselective C2 C-H acyloxylation of indole under rhodium catalysis and an N-quinolinyl auxiliary. This strategy accommodates a wide range of indoles and structurally diverse carboxylic acids with good reaction efficiencies to yield functionalized indoles. The utility of this logic was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the functionalized 2-oxindole derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that catalyst turnover of RhIII-RhIV/V-RhII/III-RhIII might be involved in this catalytic C-H transformation.

Abstract
Polychloromethylative cyclization of N-alkenyl indoles was developed under metal-free conditions to afford tricyclic pyridoindolones and pyrroloindolones in moderate to good yields. In the reaction, commercially available CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 were employed as tri- and dichloromethyl radical sources. Moreover, tri- and dichloromethylated polycyclic benzoimidazoles can also be obtained under standard conditions.

Abstract
A metal-free polychloromethyl radical-initiated cyclization of unactivated alkenes was developed using CH2Cl2 and CHCl3 as the di- and trichloromethyl radical sources. Variously substituted N-allyl-indoles were successfully transformed into the corresponding C2-(di- and trichloromethyl) pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles in moderate to good yields. This reaction has a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Dibromomethylated products can also be obtained using CH2Br2 under standard conditions.

Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles, especially polycyclic compounds, are significant skeletons in valuable molecules. Herein, we developed an efficient and practical visible-light-induced acylation/cyclization of active alkenes with acyl oxime derivatives for constructing acylated indolo/benzimidazo-[2,1,a]isoquinolin-6(5H) ones. This reaction was compatible with various functional groups and a series of fused indole/imidazole skeletons were prepared in up to 95% yield at room temperature.
