Procedure

Potassium tert-butoxide (2.81 g, 25.02 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-hydroxy-indole (1.11 g, 8.34 mmol) in tert-butyl alcohol. 1-Benzyloxycarbonyl-4-piperidone (3.89 g, 16.67 mmol) was added to the purple reaction mixture at RT. After 16 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (SiO2, 25-45% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 4-(5-hydroxyindol-3-yl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine as a white solid (92%).
