We herein have described a straightforward approach for the synthesis of 1,2,3‐trisubstituted indolines by using small polyfunctionalized molecules as building blocks. The indolines were prepared in few steps with high trans diastereoselectivity and overall yields of up to 35 %. This is the first report of the synthesis of 1,2,3‐trisubstituted indolines from Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts. 

Pd/CuFe₂O₄ nanowire-catalyzed cross coupling transformations are described. Notably, these reactions showed excellent functional group tolerance. Further, the protocol is applied to a one-pot synthesis of benzofurans via a Sonogashira coupling and intramolecular etherification sequence. The catalyst was reused and found to maintain its activity and stability.
