Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2,2,4,7-tetramethyl-1H-indole-1-carbaldehyde (2.29 g, 10.4 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added 60% dispersion of sodium hydride in oil (0.42 g, 12 mmol) with cooling on ice and stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at the same temperature for 5 minutes. To the resulting mixture was added 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene (1.3 ml, 13 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and at 60° C. for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from diisopropyl ether-hexane to obtain 1.95 g of the title compound.
