Procedure
Epibromohydrin (0.73 ml, 8.5 mmole) was added to a stirred solution of indole (1.0 g, 8.5 mmole) and sodium hydride (0.34 g, 8.5 mmole) in anhydrous DMF (20 ml), and the mixture was heated at 60° C. under nitrogen for two hours. Water (100 ml) was added and the product extracted into CH2Cl2 (3×25 ml). The combined organics were washed with water (25 ml), brine (25 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filtration and concentration in vacuo gave the crude product as a light yellow colored oil (1.45 g). This was purified by flash silica gel chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the titled product as a light oil (1.37 g, 93% yield).
