Photochemistry of Benzotriazoles: Generation of 1,3-Diradicals and Intermolecular Cycloaddition as a New Route toward Indoles and Dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]Indoles

Photochemistry of Benzotriazoles: Generation of 1,3-Diradicals and Intermolecular Cycloaddition as a New Route toward Indoles and Dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]Indoles

Irradiation of benzotriazoles 1a–e at λ = 254 nm in acetonitrile solution generated the corresponding 1,3-diradicals which underwent intermolecular cycloaddition with maleimides to afford the corresponding dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles and with acetylene derivatives to afford indoles as the major pro...
