Indoline → 1-(3-Bromo-4-fluorophenylsulfonyl)indoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-4-fluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (2.53 g, 8.33 mmol), indoline (0.933 mL, 8.33 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethyl-amine (1.60 mL, 9.16 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ether. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a solid residue. Recrystallization from ether and heptane provided the title compound (1.99 g, 67%).
