Abstract2‐Alkylaminophenylprop‐1‐yn‐3‐ols, prepared from the lithium diisopropylamide (LDA)‐mediated 1,2‐addition of alkynes to 1‐(2‐aminophenyl) ketones, can be converted to 3,3‐disubstituted 2‐oxindoles by using silica gel in n‐hexane/ethyl acetate (20:1 v/v) as the reaction medium. The utility of the approach as a potential scale‐up strategy for the synthesis of 2‐oxindoles was exemplified by the large‐scale synthesis of one adduct in excellent yield. The synthetic applicability of this chemistry was also demonstrated by the recycling of the silica gel up to 8 times with no apparent loss of activity being observed for the same example.magnified image
