摘要
A visible-light-driven rhodamine B-catalyzed transition-metal-free 3-ethoxycarbonylmethylation of 2-aryl-2H-indazoles and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines(40 examples)using commercially availableα-bromoesters was realized in water.This protocol features sustainability,operational simplicity,mild reaction conditions,and remarkable substrate scope.Importantly,α-bromoamides are also appropriate substrates for affording 3-carbamylmethylation products.It could be used for the synthesis of the drug zolpidem and the late-stage modification of natural products.
