tert-Butoxide unlocks new reactivity patterns embedded in nitroarenes. Exposure of nitrostilbenes to sodium tert-butoxide was found to produce N-hydroxyindoles at room temperature without an additive. Changing the counterion to potassium changed the reaction outcome to yield solely oxindoles through an unprecedented dioxygen-transfer reaction followed by a 1,2-phenyl migration. Mechanistic experiments established that these reactions proceed via radical intermediates and suggest that counterion coordination controls whether an oxindole or N-hydroxyindole product is formed.

A straightforward synthetic method for the preparation of isocoumarins and 3-benzylidenephthalides via C-H olefination and oxidative coupling of readily available benzoic acids and vinylarenes was developed. The directing effect of the substituents on the benzoic acid allows for the synthesis of both types of lactone in pure form.
