반응 단계

To N-[2-(5-methoxyindol-3-yl)ethyl]diacetamide (4) (35 mg) dissolved in dichloromethane (3 ml), at 0° C., is added Meerwein's reagent (0.15 mmol, 0.15 ml). The mixture is maintained at room temperature for 12 h. The solution is filtered. A red precipitate is obtained. The precipitate is dissolved in methanol (1 ml).
