2-Chloroethanol → HCID 66954413, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6′-bromospiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-dione (preparation 10a, 4.0 g, 13.6 mmol), 2-chloroethanol (20 mL), methanesulphonic acid (0.25 mL) and freshly activated molecular sieves (20 g) in dichloromethane (20 mL) and toluene (40 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 days. Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to neutralize the mixture and the suspension was filtered and the filter cake was washed with several portions of dichloromethane. The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (200:1 dichloromethane/methanol) to give the title compound (3.9 g, 66%) as a white solid.
