Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-trifluoromethyl-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (214.8 g; 0.921 mol) in 1:1 DCE/tBuOH (1.240 L) was added Zinc chloride 1M solution in ether (1 eq; 0.921 L). After 0.5 hour, 5-amino-oxindole (124 g; 0.837 mol) was added followed by triethylamine (129.4 ml; 0.921 mol) keeping temperature at 25° C. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight, then was concentrated and the product triturated from methanol as a yellow solid (224.3 g; 82%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) 3.29 (s, 2H), 6.76 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 2H), 7.39 (d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.51 (br s, 1H), 8.71 (s, 1H), 10.33 (s, 1H), 10.49 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, 100 MHz) δ 177.0, 161.3, 158.7 (br), 140.7, 132.8, 126.9, 123.7 (q, J=268 Hz), 121.0, 118.7, 111.2 (q, J=32 Hz), 109.6, 36.7; HPLC ret. time: 5.759 min. LRMS (M+) 329.1, 331.1.
