Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5,6-dimethoxyindole (2.00 g, 11.29 mmol) in acetic acid (120 mL), sodium cyanoborohydride (2.13 g, 33.86 mmol) was added in portions (slightly exothermic). After stirring at rt for 1 h, DCM was added and the org. layer was washed with sat. NaHCO3-solution and brine. The org. layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield 5,6-dimethoxyindoline as a brown solid, which was stored in the freezer until it was used in step 4. LC-MS conditions B: tR=0.28 min, [M+H]+=180.23.
