Pentanidium–catalyzed enantioselective α-hydroxylation of oxindoles using molecular oxygen

Pentanidium-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of 3-substituted-2-oxindoles using molecular oxygen has been developed with good yields and enantioselectivities. This reaction does not require an additional reductant such as triethyl phosphite, which was typically added to reduce the peroxide intermediate. Th...
