Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 6-chlorooxindole (0.93 g, 5.6 mmol) and 5-chloro-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (0.8 g, 5.6 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added pyrrolidine (0.6 g, 5.6 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was then heated at 70° C. for 3 h and cooled to room temperature. The precipitate was collected, dried to give a mixture of E/Z-6-chloro-3-(5-chloro-pyridine-3-ylmethylene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as a bright yellow solid (Yield 1.0 g, 63%).
