Reaction Steps

3-(2-bromoethyl)-5,6-dichloro-2-(triethylsilyl)-1H-indole was prepared according to method D Step III with 2-(5,6-dichloro-2-(triethylsilyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanol (1.7 g; 4.94 mmol) in THF (6 mL) and triphenyl phosphine (2.59 g; 9.87 mmol) and perbromomethane (3.27 g; 9.87 mmol) in THF (40 mL) pre-stirred for 30 minutes. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent 2 to 20% ethyl acetate in heptane) to yield 0.548 g (27%) of 3-(2-bromoethyl)-5,6-dichloro-2-(triethylsilyl)-1H-indole as a brown oil.
