Abstract

A gold‐catalyzed dimerization of 3‐diazooxindoles was developed, delivering isoindigos as products. The reaction shows broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance by affording various substituted isoindigos. Moreover, the method also exhibited high efficiency on a gram‐scale reaction.
