Conditions

Temperature: 81.5 °C

Procedure

4-Benzyloxy phenyl hydrazine hydrochloride (1.0 g, 4 mmol), 4-benzyloxy propiophenone (0.96 g, 4 mmol) and acetic acid (10 μl, 0.17 mmol) were suspended in 15 ml of acetonitrile and the mixture was refluxed for 12 hrs at a temperature of 81-82° C. Then mixture was cooled to 10-15° C. within 1 hr. The white product was filtered and washed with chilled acetonitrile (3 ml). 5-Benzyloxy-2-(4-benzyloxy phenyl)-3-methyl-1H-indole (1) melting at 149-150° C. was obtained in a yield of 1.0 g (60%).
