A Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed directing group-assisted C7 C-C coupling of indolines with aziridines has been developed by merging C-H activation and ring opening. The use of cobalt catalyst, detection of a Co(III) intermediate, and late-stage removal of the directing group are important practical features.
