Procedure

A solution of 3-methylthio-5-nitrooxindole (900 mg, 4 mmol) and N-chlorosuccinimide (600 mg, 4.5 mmol) in 50 ml of chloroform was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then evaporated to dryness in vacuo, yielding 3-chloro-3-methylthio-5-nitrooxindole. The residue was dissolved in 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran and added to a vigorously stirred slurry of red mercuric oxide powder (900 mg, 4.3 mmol) and boron trifluoride etherate (600 mg, 4.3 mmol) in 100 ml of 20 percent aqueous tetrahydrofuran. After stirring at room temperature for two hours, the reaction mixture was extracted with three 100-ml portions of chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from 95 percent ethanol to give 5-nitroisatin (600 mg, 78%), mp 252°-254°
