Several novel 4-alkyloxy-aminoalkyl indole derivatives 3 were synthesized from 4- benzyloxyindole (1). Alkylation of 1 with 4-(2-chloroethyl) morpholine (NaH/HMPA) formed 2. Deprotection using palladium hydroxide on carbon/hydrogen followed by alkylation with the appropriate alkyl bromide gave the target compounds 3b–3j. In the synthesis of 3i and 3j, the appropriate alkyl bromides 13 and 17 were prepared from the commercially available 1- ...
