Reaction Steps

To a stirred dichloromethane (0.09 M) solution of tert-butyl[3-(3-formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)propyl]carbamate from the previous step was added HCl (4 N solution in dioxane, 45 eq.). The resulting solution was stirred at RT for 1 h before the volatiles were removed in vacuo. Dichloromethane was then added to the red residue and the volatiles were again removed in vacuo to afford a red gum. To the crude amine thus obtained was then added dichloromethane (0.09 M) and triethylamine (2.2 eq.). When the reaction solution became homogeneous, acetyl chloride (1.05 eq.) was added and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at RT for another 2 h. The reaction was finally quenched with 1 N aq. NaOH and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentration of the filtrate in vacuo afforded the crude title compound as a yellow solid.
