Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-methylbut-1-ynyl)aniline (Compound 37, 3.47 g, 21.8 mmol) in DMF (100 ml) was added copper (I) iodide (41 mg, 0.22 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 160° C. for 2 h and was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 5% EtOAc-hexanes to yield 2-isopropyl-1H-indole (Compound 38) as an off-white solid.
