Synthesis of 2-monosubstituted indolin-3-ones by cine-substitution of 3-azido-2-methoxyindolines†
Abstract
We report herein a formal cine-substitution/hydrolysis of 3-azidoindoles generated from 3-azido-2-methoxyindolines (AZINs). This protocol enables the introduction of various carboxylic acids and alcohols into indolin-3-ones at the C2-position, affording 2-monoacyloxy or alkoxy indolin-3-ones.
