- 27 General Procedure for the N-Arylation of Indoline (1a) with Diphenyliodonium Triflate (2a) to 1-Phenylindoline (3a) Diphenyliodonium triflate (2a, 0.1 g, 0.23 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was charged in a vial and sealed with a septum. After adding TFE (3 mL), indoline (1a, 0.024 mL, 0.21 mmol) was added dropwise slowly to the solution, which was then heated to 70 °C for 14 h. After the solution was cooled to r.t., the mixture was diluted with H2O and sat. NaHCO3. The aqueous phase was extracted several times with CH2Cl2. The organic phase is washed with H2O, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with cyclohexane–CH2Cl2 (2:1, v/v) giving 34 mg (83%) of 3a as a colorless solid. 2,3-Dihydro-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-indole (3b) Pale yellow oil, partially crystalline (18 mg, 41%); eluent: cyclohexane–CH2Cl2 (20:1 → 15:1 → 10:1, v/v); mp 66–70 °C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.17–7.13 (m, 5 H), 7.07–7.04 (m, 2 H), 6.75–6.69 (m, 1 H), 3.93 (t, 2 H, J = 8.5 Hz), 3.12 (t, 2 H, J = 8.5 Hz), 2.33 (s, 3 H). 13C{1H} NMR (100.6 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 147.7, 141.9, 131.2, 130.8, 129.8, 127.2, 125.1, 118.6, 118.3, 108.0, 52.5, 28.3, 20.9.
