117. Exposure of racemic bromooxindole (±)-1 to preformed [Cu(3)] (SbF6)2 in the presence of iPr2NEt at - 40 °C without molecular sieves gave malonate adduct 2 in 68 % yield and 86 % ee.
118. Consistent with our proposal of an o-azaxylylene intermediate, exposure of N-methyl bromooxindole 16 to our reaction conditions (see Table 2) failed to give any detectable amount of the malonate adduct.
