Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) was employed as an additive for the generation of 3‐(chloromethylene)oxindoles via the chloroacylation of alkyne‐tethered carbamoyl chlorides. This reaction avoids the use of a metal catalyst and accesses products in high yields and stereoselectivities. Additionally, this reaction is scalable and proved amenable to a series of product derivatizations, including the synthesis of nintedanib. The reactivity of alkene‐tethered carbamoyl chlorides with hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) was harnessed towards the synthesis of 2‐quinolinones.
