The oxidative difunctionalization of alkenes is a powerful strategy for the synthesis of various organic compounds. [1] Recent studies have demonstrated that palladium-catalyzed oxidative transformations, such as aminooxygenation, [2] diamination, [3] and dioxygenation [4] of alkenes, can be used ef

✦ Synopsis
Not one but two: The title reaction proceeds through the dual C-H bond cleavage of both aniline and acetonitrile. The reaction affords a variety of cyano-bearing indolinones in excellent yield. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that this reaction involves a fast arylation of the olefin and a rate-determining C-H activation of the acetonitrile.

## Abstract A new, general method for the synthesis of phenanthridines has been developed by palladium‐catalyzed oxidative remote CH olefination–carboamination–CC bond cleavage tandem reaction. It is noteworthy that alkenes are used as the one‐carbon resources for this tandem reaction.
