N-Chlorophthalimide as a mild and efficient chlorination reagent in the Gassman ortho alkylation of aromatic amines. Synthesis of 3-(methylthio)oxindoles

Add time:08/23/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

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.
