Reaction Steps

A mixture of the indole from Step 2 (8.46 g, 23.6 mmol) and (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (16.9 g, 48.6 mmol) was suspended in 25 mL of toluene and heated to reflux for 15 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (25% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide 9.38 g of the title compound.
