38. The susceptibility of oxindole enolates to oxidation is known, see, for example, ref 5c.
39. Detailed studies of this process are beyond the scope of this Letter. However, we have established that simply stirring isolated 3-aryl oxindoles in a THF/PhMe mix open to air is not sufficient to produce the oxidized products.
