We have developed an efficient Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative tandem cyclization strategy using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant for the double 5-exo-trig cyclizations of N-(2-allylaryl) amides to afford a variety of indolines in good yields without the formation of undesired monocyclization products. By employing Pd(TFA)2/(-)-sparteine as the chiral catalyst, we obtained tandem cyclization products with high enantioselectivity (up to 91% ee).
