An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed formal [4 + 2] annulation of 2-aryl-3 H-indol-3-ones with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids bearing γ-H was developed via an in situ activation strategy. The reaction involves the γ-addition of vinyl enolates to the unique cyclic ketimines to afford chiral tricyclic indolin-3-ones with a quaternary carbon center at 2-position. This protocol provides a rapid and enantioselective pathway to access a novel class of structurally important C2-quaternary indolin-3-ones that might be useful for drug discovery.

A cascade transformation of C2-quaternary indoxyls leading to an efficient assembly of complex (dihydro)indolo[1,2-]quinolin-5-one ring systems is reported. The method involves the gram-scale preparation of 2-(2-aryl-3-oxoindolin-2-yl)-2-phenylacetonitriles which are then converted with methyl ketones to the corresponding 2-(2-oxo-2-aryl(alkyl)ethyl)-2-phenylindolin-3-ones. The latter can either be isolated with good yields (75-96%) or, in the case of -nitroacetophenone, used for further base-assisted intramolecular SAr cyclization resulting in indoxyl-fused quinolone-4 hybrids (up to 95%).

Indolin-3-ones are essential heterocycles with wide-ranging biological activities and medicinal values, and therefore, efficient approaches to their synthesis remain in demand. Herein, a novel and operationally simple method to generate indolin-3-ones is reported by using a tandem reaction of -methylbenzylamines and methyl 2-fluorobenzoates mediated by the LiN(SiMe) and CsF system (34 examples, 30-85% yields). The synthesis of C2-quaternary indolin-3-one further demonstrated the potential practicability of these tandem reactions.

Here we report B(CF)CPA-catalyzed enantioselective aza-Diels-Alder reaction of 3,3-difluoro-2-Aryl-3H-indoles with unactivated dienes to access chiral 10,10-difluoro-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indoles. This protocol allows the formation of pyrazole-based C2-quaternary indolin-3-ones with high enantioselectivities and regioselectivities. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis of the 10,10-difluoro-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indole skeleton was successfully achieved without any reduction in both yield and enantioselectivity.

A mild and effective strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of C2-quaternary indolin-3-ones from 2-alkynyl arylazides and ketones by gold/chiral amine relay catalysis is described. In this reaction, 2-alkynyl arylazides undergo gold-catalyzed cyclization, nucleophilic attack, and oxidation to form intermediate 2-phenyl-3-indol-3-ones, followed by an l-proline-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction with ketones, to afford corresponding products in satisfactory yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities.

An efficient method for the synthesis of five-membered chiral propargylic amines from 2-aryl-3-indol-3-one and alkynylsilanes has been developed. The reaction proceeded under the catalytic system of PtCl, oxazoline-based ligand , Zn(CFCOO), and AcOH in DCE at 95 °C via in situ desilylation of TMS-alkynes. This methodology also highlights a new protocol for the in situ desilylation of alkynylsilanes.
