Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 6-chloro-2-oxindole (5.3 g, 32 mmol) (Crescent) and 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzaldehyde (5 g, 32 mmol) (Aldrich) in methanol (200 mL) was added piperidine (2.7 g, 32 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-4-fluoro-benzylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as a yellow solid (Yield 8 g, 82%).
