A method for the oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes has been developed to synthesize indole and indoline derivatives from readily accessible substrates. The cinnamyl tethered anilines with picolinamide as a directing group provided 3-substituted indoles via intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, and the 2-methyl substituted cinnamyl anilines furnished indoline derivatives with 3-position quaternary stereocenters in good to excellent yields via sequential intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, hydrolysis and oxidation steps.
