A mixture of 5-methoxytryptamine (420 mg) and diethyl glutarate (460 mg) is heated at 175° C. for 18 h. eparation on a column (eluent: EtOAc) gives the amide ster 2. This product is treated with a trace of ara-toluenesulphonic acid in xylene and the water formed is removed using Dean-Stark apparatus. After refluxing for 9 h and separation on a silica plate, N-[2-(5-methoxy)indol-3-ylethyl)]glutarimide is obtained.
