Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10% palladium on carbon (200 mg) in absolute ethanol (30 mL) was added a solution of (2E)-3-(1H-indol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ol (0.98 g, 5.66 mmol) in ethyl acetate (30 mL) and the mixture hydrogenated at 50 psi for 15 min. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuo to give a light purple syrup. (2E)-3-(1H-indol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ol was prepared by the method of Kardos, N.; Genet J-P. Tetrahedron Asymmetry 1994, 5, 1525-1533, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Purification by flash chromatography (20% to 50% ethyl acetate/hexane) gave the title compound as a colorless syrup (0.92 g, 93%). MS (ES+) m/z 176.2 (M+H).
