Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(4-chloro-2-formyl-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (5.17 g, 17.3 mmol) and 6-chlorooxindole (2.89 g, 17.3 mmol) were anhydrous methanol (100 mL) at room temperature was slowly added piperidine (1.7 mL, 17.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 0.5 h. Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The precipitate was dried and collected to give E/Z-2-[4-chloro-2-(6-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid (Yield 6.5 g, 84%).
