Reaction Steps

A solution of indoline (5.0 g) and 98% formic acid (3.0 g) in toluene (17 mL) was heated at reflux for 6 hours with a Dean-Stark trap, cooled, washed with water and concentrated. The resulting dark brown solid was dissolved in methanol, concentrated to a fraction of its original volume, treated with 1:1 diethyl ether/hexane, and concentrated dryness to provide 5.5 g of the desired product.
