A new structurally characterized ferrous corrole [FeII(ttppc)]? (1) binds one equivalent of dioxygen to form [FeIII(O2?.)(ttppc)]? (2). This complex exhibits a 16/18O2-isotope sensitive ν(O-O) stretch at 1128 cm?1 concomitantly with a single ν(Fe-O2) at 555 cm?1, indicating it is an η1-superoxo (“end-on”) iron(III) complex. Complex 2 is the first well characterized Fe-O2 corrole, and mediates the following biologically relevant oxidation reactions: dioxygenation of an indole derivative, and H-atom abstraction from an activated O?H bond.

Chlorophyll is the most abundant photocatalytic pigment that enables plants to absorb solar energy and convert it to energy storage molecules. Herein, we report a tandem photocatalytic approach utilizing the natural pigment chlorophyll in crude form to achieve photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and energy transfer (EnT) towards the oxidative functionalization of indoles. Redox potentials, ESR, fluorescence quenching and UV experiments have evidenced the dual catalytic activity of chlorophyll. The highlight of the study is the auto-tandem photocatalytic role of chlorophyll to enable the green oxidation of indoles using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, water as the reaction medium, and photochemical energy from the visible region of the spectrum.

Dearomatisation of indole derivatives to the corresponding isatin derivatives has been achieved with the aid of visible light and oxygen. It should be noted that isatin derivatives are highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Notably, this chemistry works excellently with N-protected and protection-free indoles. Additionally, this methodology can also be applied to dearomatise pyrrole derivatives to generate cyclic imides in a single step. Later this methodology was applied for the synthesis of four pharmaceuticals and a pesticide called dianthalexin B. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen and photocatalyst.
