Sodium Acetate → 1-benzenesulfonyl-6-bromo-1H-indol-5-ylmethyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen stream, to a solution of 1-benzenesulfonyl-6-bromo-5-bromomethyl-1H-indole (14 mg, 0.03 mmol) in DMF (0.2 mL) was added sodium acetate (4 mg, 0.05 mmol), and the resultant mixture was then stirred for 2 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solution=ethyl acetate:n-hexane (2:5)), to thereby obtain the titled compound (11 mg, 85%).
