Procedure: To the compound from step A, acetone (15 mL) was added followed by benzyl bromide (670 μL, 5.6 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.8 g, 5.6 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred at RT for 18 h. A second aliquot of BnBr (140 μL) and Cs2CO3 (380 mg) was added and stirring continued for 24 h. The reaction mixture was poured into EtOAc and water, the layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 1N NaOH and water and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (hexanes then 5% EtOAc/hex) afforded 2-methyl-7-benzyloxy indole as an unstable solid (898 mg, 81% yield). 1H NMR impure; 238.17, M+H. stirring continued for 24 h the layers were separated the aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL) The combined organic extracts were washed with 1N NaOH and water dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated in vacuo Purification by column chromatography (hexanes

Procedure: To a solution of 2-methyl-7-methoxy indole (814 mg, 5.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at 0° C. was added BBr3 (15 mL, 15 mmol, 1M in CH2Cl2), and then the ice bath was removed and stirring was continued for 3 h. Ice was added and the reaction mixture diluted with water (30 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via passage through a short silica gel column (20% then 50% EtOAc/hex) to afford 2-methyl-7-hydroxy indole as an unstable solid (99% yield). the ice bath was removed Ice was added the reaction mixture diluted with water (30 mL) The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) dried over Na2SO4 filtered concentrated in vacuo The residue was purified via passage through a short silica gel column (20%

Procedure: A mixture of (2S)-2{[(3-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]methyl}oxirane (39 mg, 0.15 mmol), 2-methyl-1H-indol-7-ol (15 mg, 0.1 mmol), caesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) (65 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DMF (1.5 mL) was kept on stirring at room temperature for 5 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethylacetate and water, organic layer dried over sodium sulphate (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give subtitled compound (12 mg). The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethylacetate and water, organic layer dried over sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) filtered concentrated The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography

Procedure: Benzhydryl-2-methyl-1H-indol-7-yl-ether (85 mg, 0.271 mmol) in methanol (MeOH) (3 mL) and toluene (3 mL) was hydrogenated in the presence of 20% palladium hydroxide (Pd(OH)2) (40 mg) at 40 p.s.i for 70 min at room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off, filtrate concentrated and the residue purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give subtitled compound (20 mg). The catalyst was filtered off filtrate concentrated the residue purified by silica gel flash chromatography
