3-methyloxolane-2,4-dione

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

Procedure: A mixture of methyl tetronate (2.0 g, 17.5 mmol) and pyrrolidine (4.0 mL, 48 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was recrystallized with benzene/hexanes to give 4-pyrrolidin-1-ylfuran-2(5H)-one as white crystals. Yield: 2.60 g, 96%. was heated at reflux for 2 hours evaporated to dryness The resulting solid was recrystallized with benzene/hexanes

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

Procedure: To a stirred solution of 6-fluorooxindole (2.6 g, 17.5 mmol) in anhydrous THF (30 mL) under nitrogen was added 1.0 M LiHMDS/THF solution (35 mL, 35 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. Methyl tetronate (1.0 g, 8.8 mmol) was added as one portion. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the reaction was cooled to 0° C., and quenched with 2M HCl until pH=3. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 more hours, and poured into 250 mL of water. The resulting precipitates were filtered, rinsed with water and dried in vacuum to give 6-fluoro-3-(4-methoxy-5H-furan-2-ylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as off-white solid. Yield: 840 mg, 38%. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour the reaction was cooled to 0° C. quenched with 2M HCl until pH=3 The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 more hours poured into 250 mL of water The resulting precipitates were filtered rinsed with water dried in vacuum
