Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-hydroxyindole (1.00 g, 7.51 mmol) and ethylene oxide (0.33 g, 7.50 mmol) in dioxane (3 mL) was placed in a reaction tube. NaH (60% in oil; 0.100 g, 2.45 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 5 days. The reaction mixture was poured into water, extracted with EtOAc, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using toluene/EtOAc (1:1) as eluent to give 0.45 g (34%) of the title product. Pos-EI-MS shows M+ and 5 ions supporting the stated structure. HRMS m/z calcd for C10H11NO2 (M)+ 177.0790, found 177.0799.
