The intramolecular Knoevenagel condensation of N ‐cyclohexyl 3‐aryl‐2‐(2‐nitrophenyl)acetoxy‐3‐oxopropionamides 4 obtained from 2‐nitrophenylacetic acid (1), arylglyoxals 2 and cyclohexyl isocyanide (3) afforded N ‐cyclohexyl 3‐aryl‐2,5‐dihydro‐2‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐5‐oxofuran‐2‐carboxamides 6 which underwent reductive cleavage to N ‐cyclohexyl (Z)‐3‐aryl‐2‐hydroxy‐3‐(2,3‐dihydro‐2‐oxoindol‐3‐ylidene)propionamides 8 probably via the labile intermediates 7.
