Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 5-benzyloxytryptamine hydrochloride (1.0 g in 10 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran) was added triethylamine (0.50 mL) followed by N-carbethoxyphthalimide (750 mg) and the mixture heated to reflux on an oil bath. After 48 hours the reaction was cooled to room temperature, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was suspended in a mixture of hexane/methylene chloride (2.5:1, 50 mL) and filtered to give the title compound (1.3 g).
