反应详情

To a solution of 5-hydroxyindole 23 (2.0 g, 0.015 mol) in 20 ml of acetonitrile, anhydrous potassium carbonate (4 grams, 0.028 mol) was added and stirred vigorously before isopropyl iodide (3 grams, 0.018 mol) was added. The reaction was stirred for 2 days at room temperature and the solid was washed with acetonitrile. The filtrate was concentrated and purified with flash-chromatography (80% n-hexane/20% ethyl acetate) to give the desired product 24 as a light-yellowish oil (1.72 g, 83%; M+1=176.1).
