The solution was stirred for 2 hours. After filtration over silica gel, the solution was again mixed with equal amounts of ethyl iodide, tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate and potassium hydrogen oxide. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, washed with 200 ml of water and the organic phase dried, filtered and concentrated. Subsequent chromatography on silica gel with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (8:2) yielded 8.5 g of 4-(1-ethoxyethyl)-1-tosyl indole as oil.
