Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1H-indole (1.06 g, 4.62 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added I2 (0.262 mL, 5.09 mmol) followed by KOH (0.317 mL, 11.56 mmol). The reaction was stirred at RT for 1 h, and then poured into ice/water mixture with sodium bisulfite. The mixture was extracted with DCM and the combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 355.0 (M+1).
