[NH:1]1[C:9]2[C:4](=[CH:5][CH:6]=[CH:7][CH:8]=2)[CH:3]=[CH:2]1.[H-].[Na+].[CH2:12](Br)[CH2:13][CH2:14][CH2:15][CH2:16][CH2:17][CH2:18][CH3:19].O>CS(C)=O>[CH2:12]([N:1]1[C:9]2[C:4](=[CH:5][CH:6]=[CH:7][CH:8]=2)[CH:3]=[CH:2]1)[CH2:13][CH2:14][CH2:15][CH2:16][CH2:17][CH2:18][CH3:19]A solution of indole (1.0 g) in dry DMSO (1 ml) is dropped into a suspension of sodium hydride (60% mineral oil suspension; 0.37 g) in dry DMSO (20 ml). The mixture is heated at 60° C. for 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting solution is added dropwise with a solution of n-octyl bromide (2.82 ml) in dry DMSO (2.8 ml). After a night at room temperature, the reaction mixture is poured into water (200 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml). The combined organic phases are washed with a NaCl saturated solution, dried and evaporated to dryness. The resulting residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; eluent n-hexane), to obtain 1.86 g of 1-(n-octyl)indole as oil. The compound is characterized through its 1H-NMR spectrum.
