5-(Methanesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole → 5-(Methylsulfonyl)-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(methylsulfonyl)indoline (0.213 g, 1.08 mmol) in chloroform (4 mL) was added with manganese dioxide (0.939 g, 10.8 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 9 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the resulting filtrate was concentrated to obtain 5-(methylsulfonyl)-1H-indole (0.151 g, 71%).
