Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 5-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (0.3 g, 1 mmol) in 3:2 MeCN/DMF (5 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (0.36 g, 1.1 mmol) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.26 g, 1.1 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt, under N2, for 4 h. Additional Cs2CO3 (0.033 g, 0.1 mmol) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.023 g, 0.1 mmol) were added and stirring was continued at rt for 15 h. The mixture was partitioned between Et2O and 0.05N HCl. The organic phase was washed with 0.05N HCl and sat'd brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (0-20% EtOAc-hexanes gradient) to afford the title compound (0.23 g, 61% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.46 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.34-7.29 (m, 3H), 7.16-7.13 (m, 2H), 5.28 (q, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 4.37 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.39 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
