Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66818280, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2 N aqueous HCl solution (15 ml) was added to a solution of the above mixture (4-bromo-1-((S)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethyl)-1H-indole) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for eight hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was then diluted with AcOEt. This organic layer was sequentially washed with water (×2) and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution, and then dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH2Cl2-MeOH) to give (S)-3-(4-bromo-indol-1-yl)-propane-1,2-diol as a colorless solid (2.05 g, 95%).
