Abstract
An organocatalytic method that achieves insertion of isatins into aryl difluoronitromethyl ketones under mild conditions is described. The reaction occurs in the presence of 20 mol % of DBU and with 100% atom economy. A series of isatin derived difluoronitromethyl substituted tertiary alcohol benzoates and naphthoates were prepared in 81-99% yield. The general synthetic usefulness of these 3-hydroxyoxindole derivatives is demonstrated with the selective reduction to fluorooximes.Entities:
