Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (0.52 mmol, 0.1 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL), 2-bromo-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-1-one (0.52 mmol, 0.137 mg) and cesium carbonate (1.05 mmol, 384 mg) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 12 hours. LC-MS showed the start material was consumed. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was washed with water (10 ml), extracted with dichloromethane (20 ml). The organic layer was separated, concentrated to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane/methanol=45:1) to give methyl 2-methyl-1-(1-oxo-1-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-2-yl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (100 mg, 93%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.07-8.03 (m, 1H), 7.44-7.40 (m, 1H), 7.19-7.14 (m, 2H), 5.53-5.49 (m, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 2.80 (s, 3H), 2.00-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.74 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 3H), 1.67-1.64 (m, 4H), 1.32-1.28 (m, 2H).
