Alkoxyamine-mediated radical synthesis of indolinones and indolines

Org Lett. 2003 Dec 25;5(26):4943-5. doi: 10.1021/ol0358049.

Abstract

Thermolysis of alpha-alkoxyamino propionanilides produces indolinones, whereas thermal reaction of N-allylaniline derivatives with various Tordo-type alkoxyamines results in formation of indolines in the radical regime. [reaction: see text]
