A practical conversion of indoles into the corresponding 2-oxindoles is achieved efficiently using a hypervalent iodine reagent. This oxidation is amenable to different substituted indoles, and allows the synthesis of a wide range of synthetically valuable substituted 2-oxindoles in up to 90 % yield. Furthermore, Ropinirole, a drug used to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, was synthesized in three steps in an overall yield of 44 % using this method.
The development of a short route to the API ropinirole hydrochloride

A four-step, three-stage synthesis of the API ropinirole hydrochloride has been developed from a commercially available naphthalene derivative. The new route has half the step-count and twice the overall yield of the current manufacturing process. Key features of the synthesis are a regioselective Birch reduction and an ozonolysis with concomitant ring closure to induce the required ring contraction.

This paper describes a practical approach to the preparation of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)indolin-2-one, a key intermediate in the synthesis of dopaminergic agonists such as ropinirole - a drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome - and of two sets of protein kinase inhibitors. The sequence starts from commercially available 2-(2-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)acetic acid, which is converted in five steps into the desired target compound. This procedure offers a convenient alternative route to existing methodologies, given its milder reaction conditions, ease of implementation, and its overall yield (59 %).
