title: Titanocene(III)-catalyzed formation of indolines and azaindolines.
abstract: Reductive cyclization of epoxides tethered to substituted anilines and aminopyridines in the presence of 3 mol % of titanocene dichloride and stoichiometric manganese metal promotes a radical annulation to form 3,3-disubstituted indolines and azaindolines.
