Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-Bromopropane (1.25 g, 10.2 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-bromo indole (2 g, 10.2 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) followed by cesium carbonate (6.63 g, 20.4 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 h. Insoluble solids were filtered off, and filtrate was concentrated. Residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. Organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using 5% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent to afford title compound (1.8 g, 74%) as oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.74 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (m, 1H), 7.20 (m, 1H), 7.09 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 6.41 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.05 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.87 (m, 2H), 0.9 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H); ESI-MS m/z=238 (M+H)+.
