Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-indol-4-one oxime (1.2 g, 7.7 mmol) in DCM (anhydrous, 250 mL) was added DIBAL-H (1M solution in DCM, 35 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen. After 2 hours, NaF (7 g) was added followed by water (2.24 g). After 20 mins, the reaction was filtered through celite and the solvent was removed to give 350 mg of 1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-pyrrolo[3,2-b]azepine as a brown oil.
