	abstract = {<p>Two sequential metal-catalyzed transformations, involving [In]-catalyzed Friedel Crafts type addition of spiroaminol carbon to indole C3 followed by [Rh]-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization of the resulting gamma-amino alcohol culminated in the construction of the central tricyclic core isatisine A. The overall strategy employed three easily available starting compounds and delivered the complex tricyclic core in four steps with all four steps being catalytic in nature. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

	abstract = {An apparent intramolecular cross-dehydrogenative coupling of N-(3-hydrox)monoanilide of maleic esters comprising base promoted phenoxide cyclization and subsequent base-mediated aerobic oxidation was developed to synthesize a variety of 2-(6-hydroxy-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-acetate derivatives. The isolation of intermediate cyclized products during the large scale reactions and their ready dehydrogenation with 1 equiv of base support this proposed two-step path.},
