Abstract

An unprecedented synthetic approach to novel 4-aryl-1-methyloxindoles is described. The method involves the intramolecular palladium-catalyzed amidation of N-methyl-2, 6- dibromophenylacetamide followed by an in situ Suzuki cross-coupling reaction with a (hetero) arylboronic acid in a one-pot reaction.
