Synthesis of oxindoles via reductive CO2 fixation‡
Literature Information
Toru Amaya, Izumi Kurata
The synthesis of 3-aryl-3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles, which are a structural motif found in various natural products and pharmaceutically active compounds, was conducted via reductive coupling of (2-aminophenyl)(aryl)methanone derivatives and CO2 as a key step. The conditions employing Mg with chlorotrimethylsilane in DMA are the best for the reductive coupling, where the aryl halide moiety is intact. This reaction proceeds well without the protection of the amino group. The reductive coupling and acid-catalyzed lactam formation can be performed in a one-pot reaction to give the oxindoles.
