An FeCl2-promoted carbomethylation of arylacrylamides by di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is achieved, leading to 3-ethyl-3-substituted indolin-2-one in high yield. The reaction tolerates a series of functional groups, such as cyano, nitro, ethyloxy carbonyl, bromo, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. The radical methylation and arylation of the alkenyl group are involved in this reaction.

Difunctionalization: Inexpensive and environmentally benign FeCl3 catalyzes the oxidative 1,2‐alkylarylation of activatedalkenes with an aryl C(sp2)Hbond and a C(sp3)Hbond adjacent to a heteroatom. This reaction is a new strategy for the synthesis of oxindoles and makes use of DBU as ligand and TBHP as oxidant (see scheme, TBHP=tert‐butyl hydrogenperoxide).

A novel iron-catalyzed efficient approach to construct sulfone-containing oxindoles, which play important roles in the structural library design and drug discovery, has been developed. The use of readily available benzenesulfinic acids, an inexpensive iron salt as the catalyst, and air as the oxidant makes this sulfur incorporation protocol very efficient and practical.

A novel and direct metal-free nitro-carbocyclization of activatedalkenes leading to valuable nitro-containing oxindoles via cascade C-N and C-C bond formation has been developed. The mechanistic study indicates that the initial NO and NO2 radical addition and the following C-H functionalization processes are involved in this transformation.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed alkylarylation of acrylamides with unactivatedalkyl halides has been developed. This method is highlighted by its broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. In addition to alkyl halides, fluoroalkyl halides and benzyl bromides also participated well in this transformation. A detailed mechanistic investigation suggests that a radical pathway is
