Abstract

The Pd-catalyzed 3-arylation of 2-oxindoles with aryl bromides, chlorides and triflates is found to proceed using i -Pr-BI-DIME and Me 2 -BI-DIME ligands. The mono-arylation of 3-unsubstituted oxindoles is accomplished using a Pd 2 (dba) 3 / i -Pr-BI-DIME catalyst system, and gives good yields of 3-aryloxindoles from aryl bromides and chlorides. The arylation of 3-substituted oxindoles is also possible using this catalyst/ligand system. The asymmetric arylation of 3-substituted oxindoles is accomplished using Me 2 -BI-DIME to furnish oxindoles bearing a quaternary C-3 stereocenter in enantiomeric ratios of up to 93:7.
