Reaction Steps

5-Chloroacetyl-2-oxindole (4.18 g) in 30 mL trifluoroacetic acid in an ice bath was treated with 4.65 g triethylsilane and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was poured into 150 mL of water and the precipitate collected by vacuum filtration, washed with 50 mL of water and dried to give 2.53 g (65% yield) of 5-(2-chloroethyl)-2-oxindole as a reddish-brown solid.
