title: Flexible and practical synthesis of 3-oxyindoles through gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxidation of o-ethynylanilines.
abstract: A novel gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxidation of o-ethynylanilines has been developed. A range of functionalized 3-oxyindoles are readily accessed by utilizing this strategy. Importantly, this gold-catalyzed oxidative process outcompetes the typical indole formation.
