Procedure

A solution of 4-hydroxyindole (3.0 g, 22.5 mmol), t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (5.09 g, 33.8 mmol) and imidazole (3.83 g, 56.3 mmol) in dimethylformamide (60 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Aqueous ammonium chloride was added (100 ml) and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give a crude oil. Flash chromatography (10% ethyl acetate/hexanes) yielded the desired product (5.55 g, 100%) as a white solid. NMR.
