Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A copper(II)‐catalysed approach to oxindoles, thio‐oxindoles, 3, 4‐dihydro‐1<italic>H</italic>‐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.</p> </abstract>
