title: Cu-Catalyzed Intramolecular Amidation of Unactivated C(sp(3) )-H Bonds To Synthesize N-Substituted Indolines.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed intramolecular amidation of unactivated C(sp(3) )-H bonds to construct indoline derivatives has been developed. Such an amidation proceeded well at primary C-H bonds preferred to secondary C-H bonds. The transformation owned a broad substrate scope. The corresponding indolines were obtained in good to excellent yields. N-Formal and other carbonyl groups were suitable and were easily deprotected and transformed into methyl or long-chained alkyl groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested a radical pathway.
