title: Synthesis of diaryl acetates and oxindoles via a sequential VNS(Ar)-S(N)Ar three-component coupling reaction.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The VNS and S(N)Ar reactions combine to form an efficient three-component one-pot route to diarylmethanes. The products of selected diaryl acetates provide modular 3-aryloxindole derivatives.
