Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | 2-cyclopropyl-4-methoxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole | HCID 10516668 | — |
| Reactant | Boron tribromide dichloromethane | HCID 22277759 | — |
| Product | 2-cyclopropyl-4-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole | HCID 10491805 | 52.2% |
Reaction Steps
By the method used in Example 1, Part D, 630 g (2.3 mmol) of 2-cyclopropyl-4-methoxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole was O-demethylated by treating it with 9 mL of 1M BBr3 /CH2Cl2. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel and eluted with 20% EtOAc/hexane to give 316 mg (52% yield) of 2-cyclopropyl-4-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole as an oil.
