Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dioxo-1H-indole-7-propandioic acid dimethyl ester (1.4 g, 0.0048 mole) is dissolved in acetic acid (100 ml) and in the presence of 20% Pd/C is treated with hydrogen gas at 50 psi. The solution is filtered and concentrated to yield 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-indole-7-propandioic acid dimethyl ester. This is purified by flash chromatography on silica (elution with 7:3 hexane: ethyl acetate) to give after concentration pure 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-indole-7-propandioic acid dimethyl ester, mp 161°-161.5° C.
