Procedure

Tryptamine (192 mg/1.2 mmol) was initially introduced into abs. THF (5 ml), and triethylamine (179 μl/1.3 mmol) was added. Acetic anhydride (132 mg/1.3 mmol) was then added and the mixture was stirred at RT for 4 h. The mixture was concentrated to dryness i. vac. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and this solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (two times 20 ml) and with NaCl solution (two times 20 ml). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated i. vac.
