Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-bromo-7-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethanol (2.51 g, 9.89 mmol), imidazole (1.68 g, 24.7 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (1.79 g, 11.9 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (200 mL). The organic solution was washed with H2O (5×200 mL) and brine (200 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to give 3.49 g (96%) of title compound as yellow oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 300 MHz δ 8.14 (bs, 1H), 7.11 (d, J=7.59 Hz, 1H), 6.99 (s, 1H), 6.72 (d, J=7.59 Hz, 1H), 3.90 (t, J=7.17 Hz, 2H), 3.19 (t, J=7.17 Hz, 2H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 0.87 (s, 9H), −0.08 (s, 6H).
