Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of substituted 2-oxindoles, 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles, and isatins has been developed. Easily accessible furans were transformed into tetrahydropyranopyrrolones by a singlet oxygen initiated cascade reaction sequence. An acid-catalyzed rearrangement, followed by aromatization, gave access to a variety of 2-oxindole motifs, which were oxidized to 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles or isatins using methylene blue as a radical initiator and molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant.
