Reaction Steps

1-benzyl-3-toluenesulfonyloxypyrrolidine (0.662 g, 2.00 mmol, 1.0 eq, see Bio. Org. & Med. Chem. Lett., 1999;9:1379) was dissolved in dry acetonitrile (20 mL) and DMF (1 mL), and treated with 2-methyl-3-benzyloxycarbonyl-5-hydroxyindole (0.562 g, 2.00 mmol, 1 cq) and potassium carbonate (0.276 g, 2.0 mmol, 1.0 eq.). The reaction was heated to reflux and followed by TLC (hexane/ethyl acetate 1/1). After 24 hours, the reaction was loaded directly on silica gel and chromatographed (hexane/ethyl acetate 1/1) to afford a yellow oil: 0.162 g (18% yield). This was converted to the corresponding hydrochloride salt: LC/MS (ESI+) 441 (M+1), Anal. (C28H28N2O3.HCl.1.6H2O) C, H, N.
