A modification of the Gassman oxindole synthesis is described that proceeds from anilines and ethyl (methylsulfinyl)acetate, using oxalyl chloride to activate the sulfoxide to facilitate the formation of the key N-S bonded intermediate. This procedure is particularly convenient for reactions carried out on smaller scales and for anilines that are susceptible to electrophilic halogenation.

A practical modification of the Gassman 3-(methylthio)oxindole synthesis is reported. In our method, substituted anilines and 2-(methylthio)acetamide were reacted under mild reaction conditions, in the presence of N-chlorophthalimide as a chlorinating agent to give α-amidosulfides, which, in the next step of the process, were cyclized to give 3-(methylthio)oxindoles. The method was successfully applied for the synthesis of the key intermediate, 2-(2-amino-3-benzoylphenyl)-2-(methylthio)acetamide, in the process of the preparation of nepafenac, a commonly used ophthalmic drug.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Oxindole was found to react readily with thionyl chloride to give (in an excellent yield) the isolable sulfine (13a), which on heating (refluxing acetonitrile) gave isoindigo (15a). The dark violet 3-sulfinatooxindole (13a) readily reacted with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene to give a colorless cyclo-adduct (14a). The sulfine also reacted readily with various nucleophilic reagents, thus, thioloacetic acid gave 3-carboxymethylthiolo- oxindole (23a).
