Certain oxindole compounds have been found to be effective in experimentally induced autoimmune encephalitis and are therefore suggested for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention, treatment or amelioration of multiple sclerosis, or to delay the onset of or reduce the relapse rate in multiple sclerosis.

The first example of copper-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation of hydroxamic acid derivatives is presented. Based on this transformation a new method for the synthesis of N-alkoxyindol-2-ones from 2-(2-bromoaryl)acetylhydroxamates has been developed. The reaction conditions tolerate standard hydroxyl protecting groups on the hydroxylamine moiety and are also applicable for the synthesis of six-membered N-alkoxybenzolactams.
