strong, nonreversible base in these reactions has been found to effect a dramatic drop in reaction temperature (to room temperature) relative to the current state-of-the-art (>100 °C) procedure. When employing iodine as an “oxidant”, new evidence suggests that this transformation may occur via a transiently stable iodinated intermediate rather than by direct single-electron oxidation.

An intramolecular-dehydrogenative-coupling (IDC) using "transition-metal-free" oxidation conditions has been achieved to synthesize a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center at the benzylic position. The methodology involves a one-pot C-alkylation of beta-N-arylamido esters (3, 6) with alkyl halides using potassium tert-butoxide concomitant with a dehydrogenative coupling. A radical-mediated pathway has been tentatively proposed for the oxidative process.

The preparation of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles by a formal C-H, Ar-H coupling of anilides is described. Highly efficient conditions have been Identified using catalytic (5 mol %) Cu(OAc)(2)center dot H(2)O with atmospheric oxygen as the reoxidant; no additional base is required, and the reaction can be run in toluene or mesitylene. Optimization studies are reported together with a scope and limitation investigation based on variation of the anilide precursors. The application of this methodology to prepare a key Intermediate for the total synthesis of the anticancer, analgesic oxindole alkaloid Horsfiline is also described.
