Procedure: In a manner similar to the method described in Example 227b, 2-(4-chloro-2-formyl-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (9 g, 30 mmol) was reacted with 6-chlorooxindole (5.1 g, 30 mmol) and pyrrolidine (2.49 g, 35 mmol) in methanol to give E/Z 2-[4-chloro-2-(6-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow oil (6.2 g).

Conditions: temp:110.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (15.6 g, 100 mmol), 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (33.4 g, 150 mmol), K2CO3 (27.6 g, 200 mmol) and KI (3 g, 19 mmol) were mixed in DMF (100 mL). Then the reaction mixture was heated at 110° C. for 3 h. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 1N NaOH. Then the organic layer was separated, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give title compound (16 g) The mixture was filtered the filtrate was concentrated The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate washed with 1N NaOH Then the organic layer was separated dried over Na2SO4 concentrated

Procedure: To a mixture of 2-(4-chloro-2-formyl-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (5.17 g, 17.3 mmol) and 6-chlorooxindole (2.89 g, 17.3 mmol) were anhydrous methanol (100 mL) at room temperature was slowly added piperidine (1.7 mL, 17.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 0.5 h. Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The precipitate was dried and collected to give E/Z-2-[4-chloro-2-(6-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-phenoxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid (Yield 6.5 g, 84%). at room temperature Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature filtered The precipitate was dried collected

Procedure: To a solution of 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde (5 g, 32 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (10.7 g, 48 mmol), Cs2CO3 (3.1 g, 95 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 140° C. for 18 h. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 2-(4-chloro-2-formyl-phenoxy)-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester as a pale yellow solid (Yield 5.2 g, 54%) The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water The organic layer was separated aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate washed with water, brine dried over Na2SO4 concentrated
