Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 6-chloro-7-fluoroindolin-2-one (1.1 g, 5.9 mmol) (Natrochem) and 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (1.4 g, 8.9 mmol) (Aldrich) in methanol (50 mL) was added piperidine (1.5 g, 17.8 mmol) (Aldrich) dropwise. The mixture was then heated at 50° C. for 3 h. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to half its volume. The'mixture was filtered and resulting precipitate was collected, dried to give the first batch of desired product (1.4 g). The filtrate was concentrated, and residue was purified by chromatography (20-40% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the second batch of desired product (0.44 g). The two batches were combined to give E/Z-6-chloro-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-benzylidene)-7-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as a yellow solid (Yield 1.84 g, 89%).
