Abstract

Spiro(indoline)-type photochromic compounds are prepared by admixing a solution of the Fischer's Base reactant in non-polar solvent with a mixture of the pyran- or oxazine-forming reactant, e.g., 5-nitroso-6-hydroxy quinoline, in polar solvent and heating the resulting reaction medium at temperatures sufficient to form the corresponding spiro(indoline)-type compound while simultaneously removing co-product water.
