Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (1.00 g, 4.74 mmol) in 5 mL of DMF was added Zn(CN)2 (556 mg, 4.74 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (77 mg, 0.14 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred under microwave irradiation for 1 h at 165° C. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the crude compound, which was purified via column chromatography to afford 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-4-carbonitrile.
