Abstract
Auto-tandem catalysis with an organosuperbase as the catalyst enables a reductive cyclization of alkynyl α-iminoesters in the presence of 1-dodecanethiol as the reductant to provide N-H indoline derivatives under mild conditions via formation of α-aminoesters and an intramolecular addition of ester enolates to an alkyne.
