Procedure

A mixture of crude 1-(5-bromo-2,3-dihydro-indol-1-yl)-ethanone (100 g, 0.34 mol) in HCl (20%, 1200 mL) was heated at reflux for 6 h. The mixture was basified with Na2CO3 to pH 8.5-10 and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 5-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (37 g, 55%).
