Abstract

Abstract α-Oxo gold carbenoids generated by the oxidation of N-arylynamides can be trapped intramolecularly at the ortho position of the aryl ring to give functionalized oxindoles under mild reaction conditions. Pyridine N-oxide works as the oxidant, ligand, and base in this transformation.
