Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 6-chloro-2-oxindole (11 g, 65.6 mmol) (Crescent) and 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (12 g, 75.7 mmol) (Aldrich) in methanol (140 mL) was added piperidine (5.59 g, 65.6 mmol) (Aldrich) dropwise. The mixture was then heated at 50° C. for 3 h. After cooled to 4° C., the mixture was filtered and resulting precipitate was collected, dried to give E/Z-6-chloro-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-benzylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as a yellow solid (Yield 18 g, 89%).
