A cobalt(III)-catalyzed regioselective coupling of indolines with allenes is reported to access C7-alkenyl indolines in good to high yields.The method features weakly coordinating assistance, broad functional group tolerance, including pharmacophores, scalability, and a reversible C-H activation step.
