Reaction Steps

4-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole (483 mg, 2.0 mmol) was reacted with 82 mg (2.0 mmol) of 60% NaH/mineral oil in 20 mL of DMF and then with 0.22 mL (2.0 mmol) of dl-methyl 2-bromopropionate as described in Example 1, Part E to give after chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% EtOAc/hexane 480 mg (74% yield) of dl-2-[[2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl]oxy]propanoic acid methyl ester.
