Participants

Reaction Steps

Add trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (10.5 ml, 63 mmol) in dichloroethane (30 mL) to N,N-dimethylacrylamide (6.4 L, 63 mmol) in dichloroethane (100 mL) at 0° C. dropwise with vigorous string over 5 minutes. Add indoline (5.6 mL, 50 mmol) in dichloroethane (30 mL) dropwise over 5 minutes. Remove from cooling bath and heat at reflux for 3.5 hours. Cool to room temperature. Dilute with diethyl ether (600 mL). Wash with aqueous potassium carbonate (400 mL), dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×300 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (300 mL). Dry over sodium sulfate and concentrate under reduced pressure. Subject the residue to chromatography (pre-packed silica gel), eluting with 19:1 dichloromethane/ethyl acetate to provide the desired compound (2.65 g, 31%).
