6-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one → 3-{5-[6-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroindol-3-ylidenemethyl]-4-methyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl}-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-Carboxyethyl)-2-formyl-3-methylpyrrole (90.5 mg), 120 mg 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxindole and 3 drops piperidine in 2 mL of ethanol were heated at 90° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated. The residue was suspended in 6 N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water to pH 6 and dried in a vacuum oven overnight to give 118 mg (59%) of the title compound as a brown solid.
