  1. Reaction conditions: 1-(tert-butyl)−3-methyl-1H-indole-1,3-dicarboxylate (1a, 0.10 mmol), NHC-borane (2a, 0.15 mmol), PC (5 mg), ArSH (30 mol%), K2CO3 (0.05 mmol), DMSO (2 mL), 18 W blue LED irradiation, room temperature, 24 h. aYields were determined by analysis of the crude 1H NMR spectra using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as an internal standard. bIsolated yields. cCH3CN was used instead of DMSO. d Without light or CN-V. e Without ArSH. f Without K2CO3. 4-CzIPN 2,4,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)isophthalonitrile.
