Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-fluoro-1,1-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (5.18 g, 16.59 mmol), diphenylmethanimine (3.61 g, 19.91 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.759 g, 0.83 mmol), BINAP (1.033 g, 1.66 mmol), sodium tert-butoxide (2.391 g, 24.88 mmol) and toluene (75 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in THF (200 mL), LN hydrochloric acid (83 mL, 82.94 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, and basified with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 0→10% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 7-fluoro-1,1-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-5-amine (1.92 g, 10.71 mmol, 65%) as an orange oil.
