The solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography (3:1, hexane:ethyl acetate) to yield 1.13 g of 4-benzyloxy-1-hydroxymethylindole, which was hydrogenated by 5% Pd/C in 40 mL methanol under H2 (50 psi) to yield 580 mg (79.5%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.15-7.07 (m, 3H), 6.60-6.55 (m, 2H), 5.62 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 4.93 (s, 1H), 2.37 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 1H).
