Reaction Steps

In another process as described in US '841, if the reaction of 5-bromoindole with 1-methylpiperidin-4-one by means of KOH in methanol is carried out at reflux temperature the resulting product is 5-bromo-3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole which is further condensed with N-methylvinylsulfonamide as described above to obtain naratriptan.
