Abstract

Recombination of alkyl radicals derived from indolin-2-ones with the tert-butylhydroperoxy radical affords 3-(tert-butylperoxy)indolin-2-one intermediates that can be further transformed into indoline-2,3-diones under air. This strategy provides a simple, effcient, and metal-free route to indolinediones.
