Participants

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (20.7 g, 63.5 mmol) was added portionwise over a 20 minute period to a stirred solution of tert-butyl 6-bromo-2-oxoindoline-1-carboxylate (preparation 6a, 6.0 g, 16.0 mmol) and 1-iodo-2-(2-iodoethoxy)ethane (6.58 g, 17.6 mmol) in N,N′-dimethylformamide (250 mL) at −20° C. under an argon atmosphere. After the addition the mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 hours. Acetic acid (1.1 mL) followed by ethyl acetate and water were added to the reaction mixture and the organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (10:1 to 5:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) gave the title compound (4.50 g, 61%) as a pale yellow solid.
