A solution of 7-fluoro-5-methylisatin (1.68 g, 9.43 mmol) in dry THF (50 mL) was added slowly to an ice cold, stirred suspension of LiAlH4 (1.18 g, 31 mmol) in dry THF (50 mL), refluxed for 2 h, cooled to room temperature then treated sequentially with H2O (1.2 mL), 15% NaOH (1.2 mL) and H2O (3 mL). The solution was filtered through a pad of Celite, washing the filter cake thoroughly with TFH, the deep blue filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified by chromatography [SiO2; iso-Hexane:EtOAc (9:1)] to give the title compound (480 mg, 41%) as a pale blue oil; NMR δH (CDCl3) 8.19 (1H, br s), 7.21–7.16 (2H, m), 6.74 (1H, d, J 12.0 Hz), 6.51–6.46 (1H, m) and 2.42 (3H, s).
