Procedure
To a suspension of sodium hydride (133 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 ml) was added dropwise a solution of benzyl indole-4-carboxylate (580 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 ml) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. 4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (440 mg) was added to the mixture and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched with 1N hydrochloric acid and then the aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. Drying, filtering and removal of solvents afforded a crude product. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (eluent; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=15:1) to give benzyl 1-(4-toluenesulfonyl)indole-4-carboxylate (560 mg) as a colorless syrup.
