Procedure: A solution of oxindole (25 g, 0.19 mol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (800 mL) was cooled to −20° C., then n-butyllithium (2.5M in hexanes, 152 mL, 0.38 mol) was added slowly followed by N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (51 mL, 0.38 mol,). After 15 min. 1,5-diiodopentane (174 g, 0.54 mol) was added slowly and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. After stirring for 16 h saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (1L) and EtOAc (1L) were added. After 15 min. the layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted using EtOAc (×2). The combined organic layers were extracted with hydrochloric acid (1N), then washed with brine (500 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to obtain an oil. The oil was triturated with hexane (200 mL) and benzene (20 mL). The precipitate was collected and dried in vacuo to obtain spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-[3H]indol]-2′-(1′H)one (26.3 g, 69.6%) as colorless crystals: mp 110-114° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.67 (m, 10H), 6.84 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz) 6.94 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.17 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 10.3 (s, 1H). were added After 15 min. the layers were separated the aqueous phase was extracted The combined organic layers were extracted with hydrochloric acid (1N) washed with brine (500 mL) dried (MgSO4) concentrated to obtain an oil The oil was triturated with hexane (200 mL) and benzene (20 mL) The precipitate was collected dried in vacuo

Procedure: A solution of oxindole (25 g, 0.19 mol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (800 cm3) was cooled to −20° C., then n-butyllithium (2.5M in hexanes, 152 cm3, 0.38 mol) was added slowly followed by N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (51 cm3, 0.38 mol,). After 15 min. 1,5-diiodopentane (174 g, 0.54 mol) was added slowly and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature.

Procedure: A mixture of methyl 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (0.50 g, 4.35 mmoles), powdered potassium carbonate (2.40 g, 17.4 mmoles), and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.140 g, 0.43 mmoles) in anhydrous acetonitrile (12 mL) was treated with 1,5-diiodopentane (1.70 g, 5.22 mmoles). The mixture was stirred for three days at 90° C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on an Alltech pre-packed silica gel column eluting with ethyl acetate to afford the title compound. MS(DCI) m/z 184 (M+H)+. Vaidyanathan, G.; Wilson, J. W. J. Org.
