Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(1-bromopropyl)-3-isobutyrylindole-6-carboxylate (179 mg) in 1,2-dichloroethane (8 ml) was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.24 ml) and refluxed for 40 minutes. The resulting mixture was evaporated in vacuo, then the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with diluted hydrochloric acid, water and brine. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. Trituration with diethyl ether gave methyl 3-isobutyryl-2-(1-propenyl)indole-6-carboxylate (55.2 mg).
