RhIII‐Catalyzed Directed Selective C7‐Hydroxylation and Acetoxylation of Indolines.

Abstract: Cp*RhIII‐catalyzed selective C7‐hydroxylation and acetoxylation reactions of indolines under mild conditions have been developed. The reactions are directed by a removable pyrimidyl group and have high functional group tolerance. It provides a mild access to hydroxylated and acetoxylated indolines in moderate to excellent yields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
