Synthesis of novel 5-hydroxy-3-alkoxy- and 5-hydroxy-3-alkylthioindole-2-carboxamides

The preparation of several novel 5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxamides is described. A 5-benzyloxyindole ester was elaborated to the 3-bromo, 3-hydroxy, and 3-alkoxy ester intermediates followed by conversion to the amide and debenzylation. A related 5-acetyloxy indole ester was converted to 3-sulfinyl and 3-alkylthio intermediates before simultaneous amidation and removal of the 5-hydroxy protecting group.
