A sliver of silver : An efficient silver‐promoted azido‐carbocyclization of activated alkenes via a radical pathway has been developed. Azido oxindoles, which hold great potential for subsequent transformation of the azido unit, are efficiently constructed by this protocol. Radical addition and CH functionalization processes are involved in this transformation with the formation of CN and CC bonds. Silver is observed to promote the single‐electron oxidation process.
