Abstract

The synthesis of new pharmaceutically interesting 3-(2-N,N-diethylaminoethoxy)indole derivatives is described. Starting from 3-silyloxy-2-methylindoles, deprotection and in situ aminoalkylation provided 3-(2-N,N-diethylaminoethoxy)indoles in good yield. Further sulfonylation of these novel indoles gave access to potential 5-HT(6) receptor ligands.
