참여 물질

반응 단계

To a suspension of the indole of Step 4 (4 g, 15 mmol) in a mixture of 10:1 toluene/THF (100 mL) at r.t. was added potassium t-butoxide (15 mL of a 1M solution in THF). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 minutes and methyl acrylate (2.5 g, 30 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at reflux for 5 hours and cooled to r.t. Then 1N HCl was added to acidify to pH 3 and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic layers were concentrated. The residue was swished in EtOAc/Hexanes to give 4 g of the desired compound as a pale yellow solid.
