The reaction mixture was heated to 145° C. (oil bath temperature) in a sealed pressure tube for 3 d, cooled to room temperature and additional benzaldehyde (4 mL) and KOAc (1.83 g) were added. The reaction mixture was heated to 145° C. (oil bath temperature) in a sealed pressure tube for 2 d and cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with 5 M NaOH, water and brine and dried over MgSO4. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (5% to 10% EtOAc in heptane) to give (E)-7-benzylidene-3-bromo-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridine (1.57 g, 5.49 mmol, 59% yield) as a yellow solid. MS m/z=286.0 [M+H]+. Calculated for C15H12BrN 285.0.
