Abstract
The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-oxindole-1-carboxamides, comprising reacting N-acyl 2-oxindole-1-carboxamides with alcohols in the presence of aprotic weak Lewis acid catalysts. In certain processes of the present invention a 2-oxindole-1-carboxamide is prepared from a 2-oxindole by reacting the 2-oxindole with an acyl isocyanate to produce the N-acyl 2-oxindole-1-carboxamide as an intermediate, which is then reacted with alcohol in the presence of aprotic weak Lewis acid catalysts The N-acyl 2-oxindole-1-carboxamide intermediate may be converted to the 2-oxindole-1-carboxamide without isolation.
