The resulting suspension solution was added to the two-necked reaction flask together with 0.5 ml of dimethylformamide as rinse solution, followed by the addition of 0.293 g (1.0 mmol) of 5-bromo (N-methylpyrolidineylmethyl)-1H-indole dissolved in 1.0 ml of dimethylformamide, and resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for 17 hrs while preventing exposure to light. I Tb the reaction mixture was added water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. Obtained water layer was washed thrice with ethyl acetate.
Obtained organic layers were combined and washed with saline, and dried over anhydrous’ sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give a residue.
The obtained residue was then subjected to silica gel column ‘ chromatography. After impurities were eluted with methanol/chloroform/concentrated aqueous ammonia (50:50:1), desired product was eluted with dichloromethane/methanol/concentrated aqueous ammonia solution (90:10:1). Eluated solution was concentrated to give 0.167 g of 5-(2-phenylsulfonylethenyl)-3—N-methyl-pyrrolid.iuy1methy1)-1H- indo1e.Yield: 57%.
