A Pd-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of 2-methyl-3-methyleneindoline in up to 89% yield and 84% ee from racemic vinyl benzoxazinanones has been developed with the help of ( R,R)-BenzP*ligand. Mechanism studies support the formation of palladacyclobutane as the key intermediate via C2 attack to π-allyl Pd complex. The β-hydride elimination provides a new reaction pathway for the palladacyclobutane.
