4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (13)

A new and efficient manufacturing technology is disclosed in the present work for the preparation of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one, which is a key intermediate for ropinirole hydrochloride. The whole process gives the target molecule in 71% overall yield with 99% purity. In the final step, a novel nitro reduction/ring-closing/debenzylation takes place in one pot. All the intermediates can be used directly for the next step without purification in this process.
