Reaction Steps

59 mg of palladium acetate, 1.5 g of tetrabutylammonium hydrochloride and 1.8 ml of triethylamine are added to a solution of 1.5 g of N-(2-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)-N-(2-methylallyl)acetamide in 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture is heated at 100° C. under an argon atmosphere for 16 hours. After cooling, 50 ml of water are added and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is then washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica column chromatography, elution being carried out with a mixture of heptane and ethyl acetate (50/50: v/v), so as to give 520 mg of 1-(4-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydroindol-1-yl)ethanone in the form of a yellow oil.
