Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of tert-butyl 3-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate in MeCN were added imidazole (44 mg), PPh3 (129 mg) and iodine (124 mg) at ambient temperature. After 3 hours, water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:EtOAc=15:1) to give tert-butyl 3-(3-iodopropyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (63 mg).
