A novel arylalkoxycarbonylation of N-aryl acrylamides with carbazates leading to alkoxycarbonylated oxindoles has been developed. The reported reactions employ economical and environmentally benign FeCl2·4H2O as a catalyst and easily accessible and safe carbazates as alkoxycarbonyl radical precursors.
