Abstract

An efficient and robust Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H homoallylation of indolines has been developed. Using 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one as coupling partner, a range of homoallylic alcohols were prepared in excellent stereoselectivities. The current strategy features high efficiency, good yields, and exceptional functional group tolerance.
