Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.27 gm (32.3 mMol) 5-amino-1H-indole in 50 mL tetrahydrofuran were added 5.4 mL (38.8 mMol) triethylamine and the reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. To this solution were then added dropwise 3.4 mL (35.5 mMol) ethyl chloroformate. After 4 hours the reaction mixture was diluted with 1N HCl and was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed sequentially with 1N HCl, water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The remaining organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 7.4 gm of a dark oil. This oil was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient of dichloromethane containing 0-2.5% methanol, to give 4.95 gm (75%) of the title compound as a tan solid.
