5-Nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (234 mg, 1 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (2 ml). NaH (32 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added as a suspension in heptane (0.5 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Iodomethane (170 mg, 1.2 mmol) was added drop-wise and the solution was left stirring for 1 h. During this reaction, hydrolysis occurred. The reaction mixture was quenched with H2O (2 ml) and washed with EtOAc (3×1 ml). The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 with conc. HCl until a white precipitate formed and extracted with EtOAc (3×1 ml). These organic layer were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the title compound.
