Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)-3-pentyl-1H-indole (1.27 g, 3.85 mmol) in HOAc (25 mL) at 0° C. was added KOAc (0.453 g, 4.62 mmol). The reaction was stirred at this temperature for 10 min., and then a solution of Br2 (0.218 mL, 4.24 mmol) in HOAc (5 mL) was added dropwise to it over a period of ˜10 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with H2O (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (200 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL) and then dried (Na2SO4). After concentration, the residue was purified by the Biotage Flash 40 apparatus (10 to 30% EtOAc:petroleum ether gradient) to afford the product (0.782 g, 50%) as a solid (inseparable mixture of mono- and di-bromo-substituted analogs which were separated in the next step); monobrominated compound: mass spectrum [(−) ESI], m/z 406/408 (M−H)31 and dibrominated analog: mass spectrum [(−) ESI], m/z 486 (M−H)−.
