Facile synthesis of 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones via singlet oxygenation of 2-arylindoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508011457

2-Aryl-3H-indole-3-ones have been synthesized via singlet oxygenation of 2-arylindoles in methanol followed by thermodemethoxylation of the resulting 2-aryl-2-methoxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ones in one pot in good yields.
