title: Construction of naphtho-fused oxindoles via the aryne Diels-Alder reaction with methyleneindolinones.
abstract: Unprecedented aryne Diels-Alder reactions by using methyleneindolinones as dienes have been disclosed, thus providing a quick access to unusual naphtho-fused oxindoles. A wide range of methyleneindolinones proceed readily with arynes to afford the functionalized oxindoles in good yields.
