What are the applications of Application

Synthesis of Oxindoles

To a dried screw-cap vial is added anilide (0.3 mmol), AgOCOCF3 (132.5 mg, 0.6 mmol), Bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II) (3.5 mg, 0.015 mmol) and chlorobenzene. The reaction mixture is stirred at 100-120 °C for 3-12 h in a pre-heated oil bath. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction is diluted with EtOAc and filtered with a glass filter. The filtrate is washed with 5% aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The extract is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude is purified by preparative TLC.

Preparation

Bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride is prepared by reacting two acetonitrile ligands and palladium(II) chloride.
