Abstract This work presented the efficient intramolecular aromatic C–H insertion of diazoacetamide. The 1a–1o diazo compounds (except for 1k) were converted into their corresponding oxindoles via an intramolecular C–H insertion reaction in the presence of a Ru catalyst. The Ru-Pheox catalyst was shown to be highly efficient in this transformation in terms of the regioselectivity, producing the desired products in excellent yield (99%). The efficiency of the Ru catalyst reached 580 (TON) and 156 min−1 (TOF).
