Abstract: A facile one-pot synthesis of tricyclo-1, 4-benzoxazines has been developed via metal-free intramolecular cyclization of indole derivates. These reactions were efficiently achieved at ambient temperature by using visible-light photoredox catalysis in continuous flow. This directed intramolecular cyclization could be easily handled and scaled up in an open flask, enabling construction of a focused compound library for further pharmacological evaluation.
