Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold (0° C.) mixture of ethyl-5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxylate (purchased at Biosynth, H-6350, 20.5 g, 1.0 eq.), (R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol (23 g, 1.3 eq.) and tri-n-butylphosphine (58 mL, 2.0 eq.) was slowly added 1,1′-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (50.4 g, 2.0 eq.) in several portions. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and diethylether was added. The precipitate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and purified on silica eluting with dichloromethane/methanol/ammoniac. One fraction was isolated and dried in vacuo, to yield 18 mg (49%) of the desired product as light yellow foam. MS (m/e): 365.5 (MH+, 100%).
