Abstract
This review describes transition-metal-catalysed and -mediated processes for the preparation of oxindoles from anilides through C(3)-C(3a) bond formation. Traditional methods, such as the Heck reaction, and recent developments, including direct Ar-H coupling processes, are presented, as are applications in natural product synthesis.
