Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4'-isopropylaminomethyl-5-bromo-1-p-toluenesulfonyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole-4-spiro-2'-[1,3]dioxolane (100 parts) and triethylamine (143 parts) in dichloromethane (1500 parts) is dropwise added a solution of stannic chloride (80 parts) in dichloromethane (500 parts) at -60° C. with stirring. The mixture is warmed to room temperature, stirred for 5 hours, concentrated and shaken with aqueous 5N-sodium hydroxide and ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer is separated, washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude product (73 parts) in 87.9% yield. This is triturated in ethyl acetate to give pure 4-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropylaminopropoxy)-1-p-toluenesulfonylindole (56 parts) as amorphous solid in 67% yield. NMR: δCD3SOCD3 0.97d(6.5 Hz)6H, 2.29s3H, 2.56-2.90m3H, 3.76-4.20m3H, 6.71-7.92m9H.
