tert-butyl 1H-indole-3-carboxylate

Conditions: temp:110.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 0.50 g (2.30 mmol) tert-butylindole-3-carboxylate is dissolved in 15 ml absolute DMSO, mixed with 0.28 g (2.50 mmol) potassium-tert-butylate and stirred at 110° C. for 15 min. A solution of 0.89 g (2.31 mmol) [1-bromo-3-(4-octylphenoxy)propan-2-yl]acetate in 15 ml absolute DMSO is added drop-wise. Following heating at 110° C. for 30 minutes and subsequent cooling, hydrolysis is carried out in saturated NaCl solution. Four extractions with diethyl ether, combination of the organic phases, concentration to half the volume on the rotary evaporator, three wash steps with saturated NaCl solution, drying on sodium sulfate, filtration and reconcentration on the rotary evaporator leave as a crude product a yellow oil which is purified on silica gel by means of flash column chromatography (flow agent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 95:5) and yields the product as a yellowish oil.

Procedure: 1.00 g (6.21 mmol) indole-3-carboxylic acid is dissolved in 150 ml absolute THF, mixed with 0.05 g (0.68 mmol) absolute DMF as well as with 1.48 g (12.5 mmol) thionylchloride and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Following the drop-wise addition of 2.51 g (24.8 mmol) tiethylamine and of 9.20 g (124 mmol) tert-butanol and heating under reflux for 2 hours, hydrolysis of the cooled reaction mixture is carried out in water. Three extractions with diethyl ether, concentration to half the volume on the rotary evaporator, washing with 5% sodium carbonate solution and with saturated NaCl solution, drying on sodium sulfate, filtration and reconcentration on the rotary evaporator leave as a crude product a brown oil which is purified on silica gel by means of column chromatography (flow agent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 90:10) and yields the product as a yellow oil. the drop-wise addition of 2.51 g (24.8 mmol) tiethylamine under reflux for 2 hours hydrolysis of the cooled reaction mixture Three extractions with diethyl ether, concentration to half the volume on the rotary evaporator washing with 5% sodium carbonate solution and with saturated NaCl solution drying on sodium sulfate, filtration and reconcentration on the rotary evaporator leave as a crude product a brown oil which is purified on silica gel by means of column chromatography (flow agent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 90:10)
