Electric Literature of 20870-90-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 20870-90-0, name is 5-Bromo-1-methyl-2-oxoindoline, molecular formula is C9H8BrNO, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
General procedure: To a precooled stirring suspension of NaH (6.0 mmol, 0.144 g) in THF (10 mL) at -78 C was added a solution of N-methyloxindole (5a) (6.0 mmol, 0.883 g) in THF (10 mL) dropwise. Then the cooling bath was removed and stirring continued for 5 min (till the formation of clear solution). Then the reaction mixture was again cooled to -78 C and a solution of methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylene-3-phenylpropanoate (6a) (2.0 mmol, 0.468 g) in THF (15 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min. After stirring for further 10 min at the same temperature, the cooling bath was removed and the reaction was quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). Combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4.. Solvent was removed and the crude obtained was purified by column chromatography(10-15% EtOAc in hexanes) provided title compound (7a) (0.539 g) as a colorless solid in 84% yield.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 5-Bromo-1-methyl-2-oxoindoline, its application will become more common.
