Pyridine → [2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-1-methylethyl]carbamic acid phenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloroformic acid phenyl ester (760 μl, 6.03 mmol.) and pyridine (510 μl, 6.31 mmol.) were added to a solution of rac. 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methylethylamine (1.0 g, 5.74 mmol.) in abs. DCM (20 ml), and stirring was carried out for 24 h at RT. For working up, the mixture was washed with water (2×20 ml), with 1M HCl (2×20 ml) and with 1M NaOH (2×20 ml), then dried, filtered and concentrated. [2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-1-methylethyl]carbamic acid phenyl ester was obtained in the form of a white solid in a yield of 1.35 g.
