Reaction Steps

5-Fluoroindole (5.4 g, 0.04 mol), 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene ketal (12.5 g, 0.08 mol) were placed in 60 ml of 2N potassium hydroxide methanolic solution. The reaction mixture were heated to reflux for 4 hours. The reaction was cooled and the product was isolated by filtration and washed with methanol to give 10.1 g (93%) of product as a white solid: mp 153-155° C.
