Sodium iodide (300 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added to a stirred solution/suspension of methanesulphonic acid 2-[5-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl ester (prepared from the corresponding alcohol, WO 95/32196) (600 mg, 2.0 mmol), (R)-3-methylaminopyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (600 mg, 3.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (830 mg, 6.0 mmol) in dry isopropanol (50 ml) at room temperature under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred and heated at reflux, protected from light for 20 hours. Upon cooling, the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane/water. The aqueous was further extracted with dichloromethane (×2). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with CH2Cl2 /MeOH/NH3 95:5:0.5→93:6:1→91:8:1 to give the title tryptamine (770 mg) as a thick gum. (1H nmr indicated contamination with the pyrrolidine-amine. Corrected yield of desired product≈60%≈500 mg). δ (360 MHz, CDCl3 +d4MeOH) 1.46 (9H, s, tBu), 1.70-1.85 (1H, m), 2.05-2.15 (1H, m), 2.42 (3H, s, NCH3), 2.75-3.60 (9H, m), 7.17 (1H, d, J=8.7 Hz, ArH), 7.22 (1H, s, ArH), 7.52 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz, ArH), 7.60 (1H, s, ArH), 8.62 (2H, br s, triazole-H); MS (ES+) 411 [MH]+.
