Procedure

A suspension of 3.0 g of 4-methyl-2-oxindole was stirred in 50 ml of acetonitrile at room temperature while 3.3 g of N-chlorosuccinimide was added in portions. Trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) was then added. The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 3 days during which time solids were always present. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, washed with a small amount of cold acetone and dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 40° C. to give 2.5 g (68%) of 5-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxindole.
