Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid (1.05 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (11.0 mL) were added sodium carbonate (722 mg) and benzyl bromide (0.775 mL), followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. To the reaction suspension was added water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-methanol) to obtain benzyl 6-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (1.04 g).
