Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, s-butyl lithium (a 0.99 mol/L cyclohexane/n-hexane solution, 68.7 mL) was added to a solution of 2-bromo-1-triisopropylsilylindole (11.99 g) in tetrahydrofuran (85 mL) under stirring at −70° C. and then stirred at −70° C. for 30 minutes. A solution of (R)-3,4-dipropyl-1,2,3-oxathiazolidine 2,2-dioxide (7.05 g) in tetrahydrofuran (17 mL) was added to the resulting solution under stirring at −20° C. and then stirred for 13 hours, while the temperature was raised to room temperature. An aqueous 4 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution (34 mL) was added to the solution under water-cooling and stirring, and then vigorously stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (30 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (NH-DM1020, from Hexane to AcOEt/Hexane=1/7) and then further purified by column chromatography (NH-DM1020, from AcOEt/Hexane=1/9 to AcOEt/MeOH=9/1) to give (R)-1-(1-triisopropylsilylindole-3-yl)-2-propylaminopentane (9.94 g, 73% yield) as a red oil.
