Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(3-Chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2(1H,3H)-indolone (0.67 g, 2.45 mmole), dimethylacetamide dimethylacetal (90%, 0.45 ml, 2.7 mmole) and 10 ml CHCl3 were refluxed under nitrogen for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated in vacuo to a viscous oil. The oil was column chromatographed on silica gel, eluting impurities with ethyl acetate and then product with 2-4% methanol in ethyl acetate, initially isolated as an oil (793 mg). Crystallization from ether gave purified title product, 625 mg, m.p. 138°-141°.
