5-exo-trig Cyclization of an aryl radical to the nitrogen of an azomethine is used as the key annulating step in a modular preparation of 2,3-cis- and trans-disubstituted indolines. The precursors are readily prepared by phase-transfer-catalyzed Michael addition of a glycine Schiff base to a variety of acceptors. When the more reactive alkylidene malonate Michael acceptors are implemented, a one-pot three-component coupling is possible. The net result is a convergent [3 + 2] coupling strategy for the construction of highly functionalized indolines, a substructure occurring in numerous biologically active natural products.
