Abstract
Herein, we present the first highly regio- and chemoselective C2 C-H acyloxylation of indole under rhodium catalysis and an N-quinolinyl auxiliary. This strategy accommodates a wide range of indoles and structurally diverse carboxylic acids with good reaction efficiencies to yield functionalized indoles. The utility of this logic was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the functionalized 2-oxindole derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that catalyst turnover of RhIII-RhIV/V-RhII/III-RhIII might be involved in this catalytic C-H transformation.

Abstract
Herein, we have developed an atom- and step-economic three-component cascade reaction that enables a modular platform for the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline compounds through ring-expansion/cyclization by way of novel N1-C2 cleavage of indoles. The metal-free catalytic system exhibits a broad functional group tolerance.
