반응 단계

To a stirred, cooled (10° C.) suspension of sodium hydride (80.7 g of a 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 2.02 mol) in anhydrous THF (1.9 L) was added a solution of 6-benzyloxyindole (375 g, 1.68 mol) in anhydrous THF (1.9 L) keeping the temperature below 25° C. After 2 h at 10° C., propylene oxide (140 mL, 2.0 mol) was added dropwise keeping the temperature below 25° C. After 48 h at 10° C., propylene oxide (71 mL, 1.0 mol) was added. After 96 h at 10° C., saturated aqueous potassium dihydrogenphosphate (3.8 L) and ethyl acetate (3.8 L) were carefully added, the layers were separated and the aqueous solution was extracted with 3.8 L of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield a solid (520 g, 110%, contains mineral oil).
