Visible light-promoted and gold-photoredox-catalyzed reactions of heteroatom (N, S, Se, O) tethered alkynes with arenediazonium salts selectively proceeded to build vicinal diaryl-substituted 2H-benzo[e][1,2]thiazine 1,1-dioxides (benzosultams), benzoselenophenes, benzothiophenes, 4H-chromen-4-ones (flavones), 3H-indoles, 1H-isochromen-1-ones (isocoumarins), and 4H-thiochromen-4-ones (thioflavones). Moreover, the utility of functionalized 3H-indoles as precursors for further elaboration has been demonstrated with the switchable and facile preparation of 1H-indoles, 2-oxindoles, and 3-oxindolines.
