Procedure

Iron powder (3.6 g) was added in one portion to 7.2 g of 4′-methoxy-3-nitrobiphenyl-4-acetic acid in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid and heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness, sonicated in ethyl acetate and filtered to remove the insolubles. The filtrate was washed twice with 1 N hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 2.7 g of 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxindole as a rose colored solid.
