1-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)indoline-5-carbonitrile → 2,3-Dihydro-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2,2,2-Trifluoroacetyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile (13 g, 0.0542 mol; see step (iii) above) was dissolved in THF (100 mL), to which 1% NaOH was then added. After stirring for 5 h at RT, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and solvent was evaporated to provide the sub-title compound as a pale yellow solid. Yield: 8 g.
