Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in example 24a, E/Z-6-chloro-3-(3-chloro-benzylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (1.34 g, 4.77 mmol) was reacted with di-tert-butyl-dicarbonate (1.91 g, 8.73 mmol) (Aldrich), triethylamine (3.29 mL, 23.6 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (25 mg) in dichloromethane (100 mL) to give E/Z-6-cyano-3-(3-chloro-benzylidene)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-indole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid (Yield: 1.7 g, 93.4%).
