Indolines are common motifs within pharamceuticals and natural products. Boron catalysis enables the chemoselective allylation of indoles to give allylic indolines in excellent diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies revealed formation of the allylic borane, allylation of the imine tautomer of the indole and B-N/B-H transborylation for catalytic turnover.

Herein, the development of a light-mediated synthesis of functionalized indolines and tetrahydroquinolines is reported. These structural motifs are considered as highly valuable targets, attributed to their widespread occurrence in pharmaceuticals and natural products. The gold-mediated approach offers a direct route to functionalized indolines in yields of up to 81% under mild photochemical conditions.

Cyclohepta[b]indoles, prevalent in natural products and pharmaceuticals, are conventionally accessed via metal or Lewis acid-mediated cycloadditions with prefunctionalized substrates. Our study introduces an innovative sequential catalytic assembly for synthesizing cyclohepta[b]indoles from readily available isatin derivatives. The process involves three catalytic sequences: ring-closing metathesis, catalytic hydrogenation, and acid-catalyzed ring expansion.

A straightforward synthetic protocol for the efficient construction of diazepine-containing spiroindolines has been developed and proceeds through a by base-promoted annulation reaction of α-halogenated -acylhydrazones and isatin-derived MBH carbonates. The reaction mechanism of this formal [4 + 3] annulation includes the in situ generated allylic ylide, nucleophilic substitution, Michael additon, and elimination processes. Additionally, the similar reaction with α-halogenated -tosylhydrazones also afforded -tosyl-substituted spiro[indoline-3,5'-[1,2]diazepine] in satisfactory yields.

Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative aryl-difluoroallylation reaction of indoles with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes as an electrophilic coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via a cascade sequence involving dearomative Heck cyclization and reductive allylic defluorination. A series of -difluoroallyl substituted indolines are obtained in moderate to good yields (36-77% yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee).
