Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl(2-(2-isobutyryl-6-(methylthio)-1H-indol-1-yl)ethyl)carbamate (200 mg, 0.53 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (9 mL) at 0° C. was added TFA (1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated (T<25° C.), treated with water (5 mL), adjusted to pH=11 with sat. NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated to afford 1-(1-(2-aminoethyl)-6-(methylthio)-1H-indol-2-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-one (210 mg, 100% yield) as a colorless oil. LC-MS MS (ESI) m/z 258.8 [M-18+H]+.
