Procedure

To a 250 ml round-bottomed flask equipped with condenser and nitrogen inlet were added 30.7 grams (230 mmol) aluminum chloride, 150 ml carbon disulfide, and 3.8 ml (48 mmol) chloroacetyl chloride. To the stirring mixture was added 5.0 grams (37 mmol) of oxindole portionwise over 15 minutes. The reaction was stirred a further 10 minutes, then refluxed 2 hours. The reaction was cooled, added to ice, stirred thoroughly, and the beige precipitate filtered, washed with water, and dried to afford 7.67 grams (97%) of 5-chloroacetyl-oxindole. NMR (d, DMSO-d6): 3.40 (s, 2H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 6.8-7.9 (m, 3H).
