The annulative coupling of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with cyclic secondary amines is reported using the combination of Ni(OTf) 2 and visible light assisted eosin Y catalysis for tandem C-N and C-C bond formation. The reaction sequence provides a potential synthetic tool for the construction of pyrrolotetrahydroisoquinolines.
