A novel oxidative protocol for the generation of trichloromethyl radical from the cleavage of C—X bond of carbon tetrahalides has been reported. This reaction employs the combination of potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) and quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) as a radical triggered system, thereby enabling the transition-metal- and organic-peroxide-free synthesis of trichloromethylated oxindoles through cascade cyclization of alkenes. The protocol delivers both high to excellent yields and good functional group tolerance. Additionally, the combination can be applied to the synthesis of α-bromoketones from ketones via the oxidative cleavage of C(sp3)—H bonds.

Key words: radicals, cyclization, oxidation, transition-metal-free
