Abstract

A procedure for the 2-arylations of indolinone derivatives with diaryliodonium salts mediated by potassium tert-butoxide is developed. Various monoarylated indolinone derivatives are readily obtained in 24–70% yield via this method. The alkylation of monoarylated indolinone derivatives with allyl bromide or benzyl bromide affords the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted products in 60% and 70% yield, respectively.
