Quinolines and indoles are both very common core motifs in drug molecules. Because they differ by just a single carbon in their ring frameworks, it would be useful to interconvert them during structure-activity relationship studies. However, aromatic stabilization in these compounds makes that process difficult. Woo et al. now report that narrow-wavelength irradiation of quinoline N-oxides in the near-ultraviolet range followed by acid treatment cleanly excises a ring carbon to produce an indole, avoiding secondary photoproducts that were previously observed using broadband light.
