A convenient approach for the synthesis of 1,4-diketones bearing an amino group has been developed through the K2CO3-catalyzed reaction of 2-oxindoles with enones with the assistance of atmospheric O2 via sequential Michael addition–oxidation–ring-cleavage process. The further intramolecular reaction leads to the formation of benzoazepinone, quinoline, and 3-oxindole derivatives.
