反応手順

1.3 G of 3-phenylindole was suspended in 100 ml of 20% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The mixture was heated to 60° C. while stirring vigorously and 20 g of zinc dust was added thereto in small portions over a period of 45 minutes. On completing the addition of zinc dust, the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. and maintained at this temperature for one hour, filtered hot, and the filtrate cooled to room temperature and washed with ether. The aqueous layer was basified with 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide and the desired product was extracted with ether and then purified by column chromatography using silica gel. The 3-phenylindoline was obtained in a yield of 0.8 g as a yellow viscous oil.
