title: Sulfur ylide-initiated thio-claisen rearrangements. The synthesis of highly substituted indolines.
abstract: The coupling of rhodium carbenoids from vinyl diazoacetates with 2-thio-3-alkyl indoles was found to generate C(3) quaternary substituted indolines via a thionium ylide-initiated [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.
