Sulfonated oxindoles are accessed by a Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed three-component reaction of N-(arylsulfonyl)acrylamides, DABSO, and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates. This transformation is triggered by the formation of arylsulfonyl radicals in situ from the reaction of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and DABSO. Afterward, the sequential radical addition, radical cyclization, and desulfonylative 1,4-aryl migration take place to provide the final product by the formation of four new bonds in one pot. This procedure shows good functional group tolerance.
