Reaction Steps

5-Aminomethylindole (5.3 g, 0.036 mol) was mixed with acetic anhydride (13 ml) and kept at room temperature for 3 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was stirred with toluene. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration to yield 6.1 g (89%) of 5-acetaminomethylindole.
