Reaction Steps

130 mg (0.5 mmol) Diethyl-[4-(1H-indol-5-yloxy)-butyl]-amine in 1 ml DMF were treated with 67 mg (0.6 mmol) potassium tert. butylate and 150 mg (0.6 mmol) 4-bromobenzylbromide at 45° C. for 1 h. Ether and water were added and the organic phase was washed with water and dried over Na2SO4. Column chromatography on silica gel with CH2Cl2: MeOH 9:1 yielded 115 mg (53%) {4-[1-(4-Bromo-benzyl)-1H-indol-5-yloxy]-butyl}-diethyl-amine as colorless oil, MS: 429 (MH+, 1Br).
