Indium-Mediated Allylation and Propargylation of Isatins: A Facile Synthesis of 3-Substituted 3-Hydroxyoxindoles

Abstract

Isatins undergo efficient allylation/propargylation when reacted with allyl/propargyl bromide in the presence of indium and sodium iodide to afford the corresponding 3-substituted 3-hydroxyoxindoles.

indium - allylations - propargylation - isatins - oxindoles
