Abstract
The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of oxindoles and ortho-substituted anilines and their use as intermediates for syntheses. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula (4):where a mixture of an aniline (compound of formula Q) is reacted with a thioether (compound of formula W):in the presence of a chlorinating agent and an organic solvent at a reaction temperature in the range above −65° C.In a subsequent process, this compound is further reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst to give the indole of formula (7) or the oxindole of formula (8):
