Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.66 g of 4-hydroxyindole in 60 ml of DMSO is combined with 1.4 g of potassium hydroxide (pulverized) and stirred under an N2 atmosphere for one hour at room temperature. After adding 2.5 g of 2-chloropyrazine, the mixture is heated for 2 hours to 100° C., poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The residue from the organic phase is purified over silica gel, thus obtaining 2.95 g (70%) of 4-(2-pyrazinyloxy)indole, mp 192°-193° C.
