Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 1,2-Dimethyl-1H-indole-5-carboxylate (crude, 1.14 mg, 5.31 mmol) in THF (54 ml) Lithiumaluminium hydride (1 M in THF, 5.31 ml) was added at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 hours. Sodium sulfate decahydrate was added to the reaction mixture to destroy the excess of Lithiumaluminium hydride. After 1 hour, methanol was added and the fine suspension was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to afford crude (1,2-Dimethyl-1H-indol-5-yl)methanol. MS (Method V) [M+H]+=176.3.
