Significance

Using oxidative tandem palla­dium(II) catalysis, a variety of aniline-based bis-alkenes were converted into the corresponding indolines in good yields. When (-)-sparteine was used as ligand, good to very good enantiomeric excesses were obtained, generating up to two new stereogenic centers in one step.
