alpha-aryloxindole derivatives. Surprisingly, catalysts containing tert-butylphosphine ligands, which have been most reactive for ketone arylations, were less active than those containing PCy(3). Use of new, optically active heterocyclic carbene ligands gave substantial enantioselectivity in formation of an alpha,alpha-disubstituted oxindole. In contrast, a variety of optically active phosphine ligands
