Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 1-benzenesulfonyl-1H-indol (600 mg, 2.33 mmol) in dry THF (30 ml) was cooled to −5° C. under a stream of argon. n-butyllithium (2.79 mmol, 1.75 ml of a 1.6 molar hexane solution) were added dropwise in such a way that a reaction temperature of 0° C. was not exceeded. Once all the substance had been added, the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 0° C. A solution of 4-dimethylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone (493 mg, 2.33 mmol) in dry THF (5 ml) was added dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. and then 3 days at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution (20 ml), the organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase extracted four times with dichloromethane (20 ml). The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum. Purification was carried out by flash chromatography with cyclohexane/ethylacetate (V:V=1:1) over silica gel. 232 mg 1-(1-benzenesulfonyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-4-dimethylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanol with a melting point of 173–176° C. were obtained.
