Abstract
A new radical triggered isomerisation approach to fused indoles is pre sented; the proposed mechanism involves the radical cyclization of a b eta-toluenesulfonyl-vinyl radical or beta-toluenesulfonyl-alkyl radica l onto a sulfone substituted indole and is catalysed with Se-phenyl-p- toluene-selenosulfonate (TsSePh).
