Abstract
An efficient and versatile Fe- or Cu-catalyzed cascade chloromethylation of activated alkenes has been developed for the synthesis of chloro-substituted oxindoles. The reaction proceeds via the C(sp3)-halogen activation of readily available trichloro- and tetrachloro-reagents using an oxidant-free catalytic system with broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance.
