Procedure: To the mixture of 6-bromo-2-oxindole (5 g, 24 mmol) (Combi-blocks) and 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.7 g, 24 mmol) (Oakwood) in methanol (200 mL) was added piperidine (2 g, 24 mmol) (Aldrich) dropwise. The mixture was then heated at 80° C. for 2 h. After cooled to 4° C., the mixture was filtered and resulting precipitate was collected, dried to give E/Z-6-bromo-3-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-benzylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one as a yellow solid (Yield 7.8 g, 94%). After cooled to 4° C. the mixture was filtered resulting precipitate was collected dried

Procedure: 4-Bromo-2-nitrophenylacetic acid (0.26 g), 0.26 g zinc powder and 3 mL 50% sulfuric acid in 5 mL of ethanol were heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered, diluted with a little acetic acid, concentrated to remove ethanol, diluted with water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 0.19 g (90% yield) of 6-bromo-2-oxindole as a yellow solid. The reaction mixture was filtered diluted with a little acetic acid concentrated to remove ethanol diluted with water extracted twice with ethyl acetate The combined extracts were washed with brine dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate concentrated
