Acetyl chloride → N-[4-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-carbonyl)-phenyl]-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A dry 25 mL flask was charged with acetyl chloride (0.209 g, 2.67 mmol) and THF (10 mL). 5-(4-Amino-benzoyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (as prepared in Example 7, 0.512 g, 2.06 mmol) was added to the THF solution of the acid chloride, and the mixture was allowed to reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature. The precipitate that formed was filtered and washed with THF affording N-[4-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-carbonyl)-phenyl]-acetamide (0.503 g, 1.56 mmol, 83%).
