Reaktionsschritte

Compounds of Formula I can be prepared as illustrated by exemplary reaction in Scheme 1. Reaction of 4-benzyloxy-indole with MeI in the presence of a base such as NaH produced 4-benzyloxy-1-methyl-indole. The benzyl protecting group was removed by hydrogenation to give the 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-indole. Reaction of 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-indole with an aryl-aldehyde such as 5-bromoveratraldehyde and malononitrile in the presence of a base such as piperidine produced the substituted 7-methyl-pyrrolo[2,3-h]chromene.
