Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-dimethylaminosulfonyl-2-oxindole (96 mg), 3-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde (56 mg) (prepared according to Synthetic Communications, 1986, 16, 1799) and piperidine (30 mg) in ethanol (1 mL) was heated in a sealed tube at 90° C. for overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with cold ethanol and dried in oven for overnight to give 76 mg (57% yield) of 3-(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-sulfonic acid dimethylamide (mixture of isomers).
