Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.84 g of (RS)-1-benzyl-3-(methylcarbonylamino)indolin-2-one in 15 ml of dry dimethyl sulfoxide was added 3 ml of a 1M solution of potassium t-butoxide in dry dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by stirring for 10 minutes. To the solution was added dropwise 1.11 ml of ethyl bromoacetate, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and extracted with ethyl ether. The ethyl ether layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/ethyl acetate=3/1) to give 0.83 g (76%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
