Gs. Singh et al., REACTION OF DIPHENYLKETENE WITH AMIDO NITROGEN OF 3-ARYL-IMINOINDOLIN-2-ONES, National Academy Science Letters, 20(3-4), 1997, pp. 49-52
The reaction of diphenylketene, generated ill situ from thermal decomp
osition of 2-diazo-1, 2-diphenylethanone and Wolff-rearrangement of th
e resulting benzoylphenylcarbene, with 3-aryliminoindolin-2-ones occur
s at amido nitrogen (1-position) of the latter. The products 1-dipheny
lacetyl-3-aryliminoindoilin-2-ones have been characterised on the basi
s of analytical and spectral (IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR data.
