反応手順

Using the procedure described in Example 9, Part A, 100 mL (130 mmol) of 1.3M sec-butyl lithium in cyclohexane was reacted with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-methoxy-2-methylaniline (15.4 g, 65 mmol) in 100 mL of THF and then with 8.4 g (65 mmol) of N-methoxy-N-methylcyclopropylcarboxamide to give crude [2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-6-methoxyphenyl]methyl cyclopropyl ketone. This material on treatment with 20 mL of trifluoroacetic acid in 300 mL of methylene chloride for 6 hours gave a material that was chromatographed on silica gel. Eluting with a gradient, toluene→5% EtOAc/toluene, there was obtained 6.4 g (52% yield) of 2-cyclopropyl-4-methoxy-1H-indole as an oil.
