Reaction Steps

The starting material was 4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid. Alkylation with 3-cyano-benzylbromide (analogously to example 19/1, but the solvent was dimethylformamide instead of tetrahydrofuran) gave 4-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid 3-cyano-benzyl ester. Yield: 75%. MS: 291.1 (M+H+).
