Dimerization of 3-Chlorooxindoles Mediated by Potassium Ethyl­xanthate: Synthesis of Isoindigos

A novel dimerization of 3-chlorooxindoles promoted by potassium ethylxanthate to access isoindigo derivatives is described. The reactions proceeded readily at room temperature in short reaction times. A mechanistic study revealed that the 3-chlorooxindole is initially converted into O-ethyl S-(2-oxo...
