Procedure

To a solution of N-(2-(3,3-dimethylbut-1-ynyl)-3-fluorophenyl)butyramide (6.0 g, 20 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added t-BuOK (5.0 g, 50 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was heated at 90° C. overnight before it was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL×3). The organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl and water, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and evaporated under vacuum to give 2-tert-butyl-4-fluoro-1H-indole (5.8 g, 97%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.17 (br s, 1H), 7.11 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.05-6.99 (m, 1H), 6.76-6.71 (m, 1H), 6.34 (m, 1H), 1.41 (s, 9H).
