Rh(III)-catalyzed C-7 arylation of indolines with arylsilanes via C–H activation

Site-selective synthesis of C-7 arylated indolines has been achieved via oxidative arylation of indolines with arylsilanes under Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H activation of indolines by using CuSO4 as a co-oxidant. This transformation has been explored for a wide range of substrates under mild conditions.
