Reaktionsschritte

Iodomethane (2.3 mL, 36.9 mmol) was added to a suspension of indole-6-carboxylic acid (1.55 g, 9.62 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.98 g, 14.3 mmol) in DMF (32 mL) under argon. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 24 hr. The reaction was quenched with sat. NH4Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (0-60% EtOAc:Hexane). ESI-MS m/z 190 (MH)+.
