A simple metal-free method for the synthesis of 3-aryloxindoles via Brønsted acid catalyzed aromatic C-H functionalization of electron-rich arenes with 3-diazooxindoles is developed. In the presence of a catalytic amount of TfOH, a series of 3-aryloxindoles are synthesized as single regioisomers in good to excellent yields. This transformation is proposed to proceed through acid-catalyzed protonation of 3-diazooxindoles into diazonium ions followed by Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation of arenes.

BF·OEt catalyzed decarbonylative arylation/C-H functionalization of diazoamides with arylaldehydes: synthesis of substituted 3-aryloxindoles.

A metal-free BF·OEt catalyzed direct decarbonylative arylation of diazoamides with readily accessible aryl aldehydes under an open-air atmosphere was developed to afford 3-aryloxindoles 1,2-aryl migration with high selectivity. The reaction offers an efficient pathway for 3-arylation of diazoamides under relatively mild conditions, which shows a high level of functional group tolerance of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups with a broad substrate scope. 3-Aryloxindoles were also obtained by a substituent-controlled chemo- and site-selective C-H bond functionalization of unprotected salicylaldehyde derivatives.

The first catalytic enantioselective dearomatization/rearomatization of 2-nitroindoles triggered by the Michael addition of 3-monosubstituted oxindoles was established. A wide range of 3-indolyl-3'-alkyloxindoles (up to 99% yield, 97% ee) and 3-indolyl-3'-aryloxindoles (up to 95% yield, 99% ee) were obtained by using an organocatalyst. This method provides an unprecedented strategy to access structurally diverse 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles bearing a sterically congested triaryl-containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.

Highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed addition of arylboroxines to N-unprotected ketimines is realized for the first time by employing chiral BIBOP-type ligands with a Rh loading as low as 1 mol %. A range of chiral α-trifluoromethyl-α,α-diaryl α-tertiary amines or 3-amino-3-aryloxindoles were formed with excellent ee values and yields by employing either WingPhos or PFBO-BIBOP as the ligand. The method has enabled an efficient enantioselective synthesis of cipargamin.

This paper describes our efforts to design a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric prenylation of 3-substituted oxindoles that affords access to both the linear and reverse-prenylated products. Both 3-alkyl- and 3-aryloxindoles performed well under our optimized reaction conditions. The regiodivergent alkylation of monoterpene-derived electrophiles using this methodology was also investigated.

The reaction of L-serine derived N-arylnitrones with alkylarylketenes generates asymmetric 3-alkyl-3-aryloxindoles in good to excellent yields (up to 93%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) via a pericyclic cascade process. The optimization, scope and applications of this transformation are reported, alongside further synthetic and computational investigations. The preparation of the enantiomer of a Roche anti-cancer agent (RO4999200) 1 (96% ee) in three steps demonstrates the potential utility of this methodology.
