Popis: A variety of 2-(3-methyleneindolin-2-yl)phenols were prepared in good to excellent yields through a NaH-promoted C–C/C–O bond cleavage of fused indolines under mild and simple conditions. Mechanistic studies showed that NaH serves as a nucleophile, attacking the aldehyde group of indoline, which is followed by tandem C–C/C–O bond cleavage to afford the desired products. A representative 2-(3-methyleneindolin-2-yl)phenol was easily prepared on a gram scale.
