A copper(II)-catalysed approach to oxindoles, thio-oxindoles, 3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-ones, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines via formal C-H, Ar-H coupling is described. In a new variant, copper(II) 2-ethylhexanoate has been identified as an inexpensive and efficient catalyst for this transformation, which utilises atmospheric oxygen as the re-oxidant. Copper(II) 2-ethylhexanoate: The synthesis of oxindoles, thio-oxindoles, 3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-ones, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines from linear precursors by direct C-H, Ar-H coupling by using a single copper catalyst is reported (see scheme; DIPEA=diisopropylethylamine, EWG=electron-withdrawing group). The cyclisations are simple to perform, run open to the air, are moisture insensitive, and use an inexpensive catalyst.

A range of substituted α-diazoamides 1-8 and diazoimides 9-12 was prepared from the corresponding amines or amides. Rhodium(II) catalysed decomposition of the diazoamides resulted in attack on the aromatic ring to give oxindoles or attack on the alkyl group to give either β-lactams or cycloheptapyrrolones. The chemoselectivity of the rhodium carbenoid intermediate was dependent on the metal ligands, fluorinated carboxamides strongly promoting attack on aromatic rings in preference to other processes. Decomposition of the diazoimides resulted in intramolecular attack on the carbonyl group to give an ylide which could be trapped inter- or intramolecularly. X-Ray crystal structures are reported for the diazo compounds 2 and 4, the indoles 17 and 25, the β-lactam 20, the cycloheptapyrrolones 24 and 28, the dimer 29 and the Pictet Spengler product 39.
