Azide‐tethered iodonium ylides under copper catalysis generate metallocarbenes that undergo intramolecular trapping by the azide moiety and generate a reactive C‐acylimine, effectively coupling two nucleophilic centers. This intermediate can be trapped by a wide range of nucleophiles or 1,3‐dienes producing complex indolin‐3‐ones and ...
