Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromoindolin-2-one (106 mg, 0.500 mmol), isopropenylboronic acid pinacol ester (0.14 mL, 0.750 mmol), K3PO4 (212 mg, 1.00 mmol), water (1 mL) and n-BuOH (4 mL) was briefly sonicated in a microwave vial and then purged with argon for 15 min. Tris(dibenzyldeneacetone)dipalladium (9.2 mg, 0.010 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (19 mg, 0.040 mmol) were added, the vial sealed and heated in microwave reactor at 110° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was removed and the residue purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 2:1, hexanes/EtOAc) to give 40 mg, 46% of 5-isopropenylindolin-2-one as a beige solid; 5-isopropenylindolin-2-one (15 mg, 0.0866 mmol) was then dissolved into MeOH and the solution purged with N2 (g). 2 mg of 10% Pd/C (Degussa type) was then added and the mixture purged briefly with H2 (g). The mixture was stirred under 1 atm of H2 (g) for 3 hours and then filtered through a pad of celite. The solvent was removed to give 15 mg, 99% of the product as an off-white solid. MS ESI 176.0 [M+H]+, calcd for [C11H13NO+H]+ 176.11.
