Reaction Steps

(10aR)-9-Bromo-1,2,3,4,10,10a-hexahydro-pyrazino[1,2-a]indole (0.10 g, 0.39 mmol) and 2-(bromoethoxy)-tert-butyl-dimethylsilane (88 mg, 0.39 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (2 mL). Potassium carbonate (63 mg, 0.46 mmol) was added and the solution was boiled with stirring for 2 d. The solvent was removed and the residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and brine. The organic phases were pooled, dried with MgSO4 and the solvent was evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol 98:2) yielded the intermediate silyl-protected alcohol (124 mg, 76%), MS: m/e=413.3 (M+H+).
