Procedure

To a stirring mixture of methyl indole-4-carboxylate (5.20 g, 29.68 mmol), allyl alcohol (2.02 mL, 29.68 mmol), and triethyl borane (1.0M solution in THF, 8.90 mL, 8.90 mmol) in THF (120 mL) at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added Pd(PPh3)4 (1.71 g, 1.48 mmol). The mixture was heated at 70° C. for 16 h then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (500 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (200 mL), brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, 0 to 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) afforded methyl 3-allyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (5.61 g, 88%) as a pale yellow oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.44 (bs, 1H), 7.59 (m, 1H), 7.44 (m, 1H), 7.16 (m, 1H), 7.04 (s, 1H), 6.05 (m, 1H), 5.00 (m, 2H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 3.64 (m, 2H); MS (ESI+) m/z 150 (M+H).
