Light-induced controlled synthesis of arylsulfonyl oxindoles and arylsulfonyl amides under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions

Key Points

• The study aims to explore a light-induced reaction mechanism for synthesizing arylsulfonyl compounds under mild conditions.
• Utilized light-induced Truce-Smiles rearrangement (TSR) for synthesis.
• Started with a common N-arylsulfonyl acrylamide as the substrate.
• Adjusted reaction parameters to switch products effectively.
• Achieved high efficiency in synthesizing aryl sulfonyl oxindoles and amides.
• Demonstrated ability to fine-tune products through parameter adjustments.
