We present an effective deacylative alkylation strategy for the construction of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position. A wide variety of products with quaternary centers could be accessed by employing simple Pd(0) catalysis under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the same strategy works equally well for the dimeric 2-oxindole system, furnishing products with a vicinal quaternary center in favour of meso-isomer as the major product. Eventual application to the total syntheses of meso-chimonanthine and meso-folicanthine very well demonstrates the synthetic potential of this strategy.

Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed α-hydroxymethylation of amides with methanol under mild conditions. Using CoCl2·6H2O as an inexpensive and efficient catalyst, some important bioactive β-hydroxyamides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The
Synthesis of 2-oxindoles via 'transition-metal-free' intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling (IDC) of sp2 C-H and sp3 C-H bonds

The synthesis of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudo benzylic position has been achieved via a 'transition-metal-free' intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling (IDC). The construction of 2-oxindole moieties was carried out through formation of carbon-carbon bonds using KOt-Bu-catalyzed one pot C-alkylation of β-N-arylamido esters with alkyl halides followed by a dehydrogenative coupling. Experimental evidences indicated toward a radical-mediated path for this reaction.
