Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of 4-hydroxyindole (2.92 g) and (2-hydroxy-ethyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (3.50 g) in 100 mL of THF was added PPh3 (5.8 g) followed by the dropwise addition of diisopropylazodicarboxylate (4.44 g) over 10 minutes. After 16 h the reaction was worked up in the normal manner and the crude oil was purified by chromatography to afford 4.1 g of [2-(1H-indol-4-yloxy)-ethyl]-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester. MS: 313 (M+Na)+.
