Abstract
This review presents the latest progress in photochemical and electrochemical reactions involving isatins. Isatin and its functionalized scaffolds e.g., oxindoles, spirooxindoles, and quinolines are privileged heterocycles as they are largely present in several agrochemical, natural products, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, the functionalization of isatins using sustainable approaches, i.e., electro- and photochemical methods is of recent research interest worldwide. In this review, we have discussed most of the important reactions of isatins based on types of bond formation involved under electro- and photochemical conditions over the last decade. The reaction mechanism for each reaction has been discussed in detail to offer an inclusive guide to readers. Lastly, a summary of current challenges and the future outlook toward the development of effective electrochemical and photochemical methods for the reaction of isatins is also presented.

Sci Bull (Beijing) 2023; 68:2033-2041.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed asymmetric electro-reductive couplings have emerged as a powerful tool for organic synthesis, wherein a sacrificial anode is typically required. Herein, a parallel paired electrolysis (PPE)-enabled asymmetric catalysis has been developed, and the alcohols and ketones could be simultaneously converted to the corresponding aldehydes and chiral tertiary alcohols with high yields and enantioselectivity in an undivided cell. Additionally, this Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive coupling can well match the anodic oxidative C-H bond bromination of (hetero)arenes. This protocol opens an alternative avenue for organic synthesis.

Abstract
A novel protocol for the construction of functionalized 1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1,3(2H)-diones (PQLs, 3) from N-phenylglycines and maleimides was developed. The cascade reaction was enabled by heating a mixture of the two substrates in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as an oxidant and anhydrous CuBr as a catalyst in chlorobenzene. Consequently, a diverse series of PQLs 3 were synthesized in moderate-to-good yields (43-73%). The synthesis of the PQLs was enabled via a one-pot cascade reaction that proceeded through subsequent oxidative decarboxylation, 1,2-addition, intramolecular cyclization, tautomerization, and aromatization reactions. This protocol can be used for the synthesis of functionalized PQLs via a one-pot oxidative decarboxylation annulation reaction rather than through a series of multistep reactions, making it suitable for both combinatorial and parallel syntheses of PQLs.

Abstract
Electrochemical asymmetric catalysis has emerged as a sustainable and promising approach to the production of chiral compounds and the utilization of both the anode and cathode as working electrodes would provide a unique approach for organic synthesis. However, precise matching of the rate and electric potential of anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction make such idealized electrolysis difficult to achieve. Herein, asymmetric cross-coupling between α-chloroesters and aryl bromides is probed as a model reaction, wherein alkyl radicals are generated from the α-chloroesters through a sequential oxidative electron transfer process at the anode, while the nickel catalyst is reduced to a lower oxidation state at the cathode. Radical clock studies, cyclic voltammetry analysis, and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments support the synergistic involvement of anodic and cathodic redox events. This electrolytic method provides an alternative avenue for asymmetric catalysis that could find significant utility in organic synthesis.
