• L8, leading to the indoline of opposite configuration. Unfortunately, this diamine is not commercially available, and its synthesis requires resolution. More recently, O’Brien [48] has reported that (+)-sparteine surrogate L2 gave a similar degree of enantioselectivity and indoline (S)-38a of 85:15

Results and Discussion Recently we found that the four-component reactions of arylamine, acetylenedicarboxylate, isatin and dimedone in acetic acid resulted in the novel functionalized tetrahydrospiro[indoline-3,2’-quinoline

• as the substrate, and the N-alkyl-indoline product 10 was obtained in good yields (70–82%) mainly by the method of the Pan group (Scheme 7). In this case, another molecule of indoline acts as the hydride donor and is converted to indole. Both Tunge and Pan suggested redox isomerization in the

• azomethine ylide intermediates in the Tunge pyrrole formation and in the formation of N-alkylindoles from indoline [19]. These reactions are considered C–H activation reactions, as during the azomethine ylide formation, the C–H bond that is cleaved is not activated by electron-withdrawing (such as ester

• , when PtCl2 (under an atmosphere of CO) is used, the major products are 2,3-indoline-fused cyclopentenes 44, which arise from a formal (3 + 2) cycloaddition (lower arrow) [86]. Thus, the appropriate choice of a Pt or Au catalyst determines whether the allenyl intermediate 42 participates as a 2C- or as

• the p-quinone are called mitosanes or mitosenes depending whether they are at the oxidation state of an indoline (Y1 or Y2 = H) or an indole (Y1 = Y2 = C=C). Compounds bearing an aziridine at C1 and C2 are described specifically as aziridinomitosanes and aziridinomitosenes respectively. Compounds

• reagent, N-phenylselenophthalimide (N-PSP) [83][84]. The attack of this reagent upon the double bond led to indoline 81 which underwent a second alkylation to generate the complete pyrroloindole system 82. It is noteworthy that the cyclization reaction was completely stereospecific. Indeed, one could

• argue that the addition of N-PSP to the olefin 80 to form a selenonium ion is reversible and that the attack of the nitrogen is favored when the two large groups emerge trans relative to the indoline ring. Treatment with m-CPBA then created the double bond which was later fashioned into aziridine 84

Accordingly, the diazonium salt 62 was prepared from indoline (59), and treated with one

The indolinyl radical 71 might follow pathway A and undergo radical fragmentation to the intermediate 75 which would eventually tautomerise to indole (63). The
