Reaction Steps

DEAD (2.1 ml, 13.65 mmol) is slowly added to a solution of 4-hydroxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester 79 (2 g, 9.75 mmol), triphenylphosphine (3.58 g, 13.65 mmol) and furan-2-yl-methanol (1.18 ml, 12.26 mmol) in 10 ml of THF, so that the temperature always remained below 30° C. Stirring is continued for 2 hours and the solvent is then evaporated. The crude residue is purified by chromatography (cyclohexane:EtOAc/95:5).
