Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-[3-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-3H-isobenzofuran-1-ylidene]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (0.50 g, 1.71 mmol) and triethylamine (356 μμl, 2.557 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (23 ml) cooled to 0° C. was added methanesulfonyl chloride (145 μl, 1.88 mmol). After 20 minutes at 0° C. the reaction was partitioned between 0.5% HCl aqueous solution and EtOAc. The organic layer was then washed with water, brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 Removal of the solvent led to methanesulfonic acid 2-[3-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidene)-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-1-yl]-ethyl ester as a yellow solid (0.502 g, 79%).
