Procedure

Sodium iodide (827 mg, 5.52 mmol, 2 equiv) was added to a solution of 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (909 mg, 2.76 mmol, 1 equiv) in acetone, and the mixture was refluxed for 16 h. Upon cooling the reaction, it was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken into dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified using the Biotage flash chromatography system (SNAP 50 g cartridge, Rf=0.7, gradient—5%-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title compound as an oil (789 mg, quant); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 2.07-2.14 (m, 2H); 2.78 (t, 2H, J=7.6 and 6.8 Hz); 3.29 (t, 2H, J=6.8 Hz); 6.95-6.99 (m, 1H); 7.04-7.08 (m, 1H); 7.14 (d, 1H, J=2 Hz); 7.32-7.34 (m, 1H); 7.52 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz); 10.81 (s, 1H); MS for C11H12IN m/z 285.12 (M+H)+.
