The quasi-antiaromatic 2H-indol-2-one ring system is readily generated by treating a 3-hydroxy-substituted 1,3-dihydroindol-2-one with a Lewis acid. Stepwise addition of various pi-nucleophiles to the highly reactive 2H-indol-2-one system occurs smoothly to afford substituted oxindoles. The cyclization was also carried out in an intramolecular fashion to give spiro-substituted oxindoles in good yield.

An instant and efficient p-TSA·H2O-catalyzed sulfenylation reaction of 3-hydroxy bisindole derivatives is reported. This highly regioselective approach afforded C-3 functionalized products in excellent yield, and this methodology was found to be compatible with both aromatic and aliphatic thiols having electronic and steric divergence as well as diverse functional groups. The sulfenylation reaction was performed at room temperature with a green solvent with minimal catalyst loading and proceeded with the involvement of a quasi-antiaromatic-2H-indol-2-one ring intermediate.
