Intramolecular insertion of met al nitrenes into carbon-hydrogen bonds to form γ-lactam rings has traditionally been hindered by competing isocyanate formation. We report the application of theory and mechanism studies to optimize a class of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium(III) catalysts for suppression of this competing pathway. Modulation of the stereoelectronic properties of the auxiliary bidentate ligands to be more electron-donating was suggested by density functional theory calculations to lower the C-H insertion barrier favoring the desired reaction. These catalysts transform a wide range of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones, carbonylnitrene precursors easily accessible from carboxylic acids, into the corresponding γ-lactams via sp3 and sp2 C-H amidation with exceptional selectivity. The power of this method was further demonstrated by the successful late-stage functionalization of amino acid derivatives and other bioactive molecules.

1-Methoxy- and 1-hydroxy-2-oxindoles rearranged in acidic solution to 5-substituted 2-aminophenylacetic acid derivatives which were cyclized to the corresponding 2-oxindoles with heating.The synthesis of 5-methoxyindole from 5-methoxy-2-oxindole was also described.

Silyl enol ethers and ketene silyl acetals add to aromatic nitro compounds in the presence of fluoride ion sources to give dihydroaromatic nitronates which are readily oxidized to α-nitroaryl carbonyl compounds by DDQ or Br2.These versatile intermediates are readily converted into indoles or 2-indolinones by reductive cyclization.Since halogen substituents on the aromatic ring are not displaced in the initial alkylation reaction, nucleophilic substitution of these groups, followed by functional group manipulations of the nitro group, permits easy access to indoles, 2-indolinones, and arylacetic acids with varied substitution patterns.
