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.

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.
We report on the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed Truce–Smiles rearrangement of aniline derivatives, in which an unactivated C(aryl)–N bond is cleaved, leading to the formation of a newC(aryl)–C bond. The key to the success of this reaction is the utilization of a highly nucleophilic NHC, which enables the formation of a highly nucleophilic ylide intermediate that is generated from an α,β-unsaturated

Visible light sensitization of benzoylazides was examined in reaction with N-phenylmethacrylamides to afford biologically important oxindoles and spirooxindoles via a cascade cyclization under mild reaction conditions. Mechansitic studies suggested a non-nitrene pathway, where triplet benzoylazides act as the reactive intermediate.

Trifluoromethylation-triggered cyclization of alkenes provides a useful route to CF3-containing cyclic compounds. Current approaches to generate CF3-based initiators from a CF3 source require a catalyst or an activator. This work describes a catalyst-free protocol to innately produce electrophilic CF3 species from PhICF3Cl for trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides. A new domino biscyclization of dienes
