A straightforward approach for the synthesis of 2‐(3‐arylallylidene)‐3‐oxindoles has been achieved by the dirhodium(II)‐catalyzed reaction of 3‐diazoindolin‐2‐imines with 1‐aryl‐substituted allylic alcohols. This protocol employs easily accessible feedstocks to produce oxindole derivatives, which might be applicable in the dye industry. DFT calculations were carried out to gain a mechanistic insight into the reaction.
