4-Aminobiphenyl → 3-Methylthio-5-phenylindolin-2-one

Temperatur

-65 °C

A solution of 21.4 g. (0.13 mole) of 4-aminobiphenyl in 400 ml. of methylene chloride was cooled to -65° C. and treated with 17.0 g. (0.13 mole) of ethyl 2-methylthioacetate and then 14.2 g. (0.132 mole) of t-butylhypochlorite while maintaining the temperature below -60° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at -65° C. for 1.5 hr., treated with 1.33 g. (0.132 mole) of triethyl amine and allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The solution was washed twice with water and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 200 ml. of methanol, 40 ml. of 3N hydrochloric acid was added, and the mixture was refluxed over night. The solution was concentrated until a solid began to precipitate. The mixture was cooled, and the solid was collected by filtration, recrystallized once from methanol and twice from benzene to yield 6.0 g. (18%) of product as a white solid, m.p. 170°-2° C.
