Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylindole (3.03 g), 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride (4.69 g) and silver(I) oxide (5.56 g) are suspended in 1,4-dioxane (50 ml), and stirred under heat at 90° C. for 19.5 hours. The solid is separated through filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated. The resulting residue is purified through silica gel column chromatography to obtain 3-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-methylindole (58) (1.15 g).
